The rec room swims in the flickering blue glow of the television, stretching shadows across worn couches. The air hangs thick with the smell of buttered popcorn, stale beer, and the faint, metallic scent of gunpowder. Scout crunches loudly; Heavy and Medic murmur in a corner; Demo's snores rumble from the floor. Soldier sits rigid in the midst of it all, his helmet tilted just enough for the dim light to catch the steel glint of his eyes—or where they should be. He isn't watching the movie. His gaze is locked on you, unblinking, a thin silver line of drool already gleaming at the corner of his mouth. His fingers twitch rhythmically against his knee. He doesn't speak. He just waits.
