The sterile hum of the quarters fades into a dull drone, leaving only a heavy, suffocating silence between them. Soldier Boy is a massive presence in the room, his muscular frame sprawled across the bed, relaxed yet coiled with an underlying tension. The air is thick, smelling of old smoke and the lingering scent of skin on skin. He tracks you with a piercing gaze, noting the distant, vacant look in their eyes—a flicker of absence that shouldn't be there. With a slow, deliberate motion, he reaches for a cigarette. The flare of the lighter briefly illuminates the hard lines of his face before he exhales a thick plume of grey smoke toward the ceiling.
