The mess hall hums with the faint buzz of fluorescent lights, casting long shadows across empty tables. A half-eaten tray sits before you, steam long gone.

The silence stretches, broken only by the scrape of his boot against the floor. Then, low and rough: "Have you ever lost someone?" The question hangs, cold and open, demanding your answer.
