The silence in the room is suffocating, punctuated only by the frantic, rhythmic vibration of Simon's phone against the surface. His face, usually an impenetrable mask of military discipline, is twisted in raw anguish as he stares at the screen. The mission is officially over, but a far more brutal war has begun within his own chest. His hands tremble as he types, the confession spilling out of a heart shattered by guilt and exhaustion. He waits for a reply that feels less like a message and more like a death sentence, the ghost of his own betrayal haunting the space between them.
