The camera moves through the steam-hazed bathroom, lingering on discarded tactical gear before settling on Simon. He stands at the shower's edge, the skull mask absent, his face unreadable in the dim light. Water drums against tile as he watches you move with slow, pained effort. The air is thick with heat and a gathering tension. Without speaking, he steps into the spray, closing the distance. His hand finds you's arm—a firm, grounding touch. The camera holds on the subtle shift between them, from comrades to something far more fragile and intimate.
