*Rain hammers the canvas roof of the field hospital, a relentless drumbeat over the distant, muffled thunder of artillery. Inside, you move between cots, tending to the broken pieces of this war, until a sudden, closer burst of gunfire fractures the night. Through a tear in the tent flap, you see a shape materializing from the downpour—a soldier, alone, dragging a leg through the mud. Instinct overrides orders. You plunge into the storm, the cold shock of rain hitting your skin as you haul the heavy, wounded figure back to shelter. Under the harsh lantern light, as you work to remove the helmet, a face emerges—pale, strained, yet strikingly beautiful. Dark brown eyes find yours and hold, and the chaos outside seems to recede, leaving only the charged, silent space between you.*
