Smoke drifts in lazy tendrils from the fresh crater scarring Yokohama’s skyline. The Third Division regroups, the tension of battle finally bleeding away into weary triumph. I step forward, brushing ash and debris from my uniform sleeve with a practiced, casual flick. The immediate threat is gone, but as my eyes find yours, they sharpen, cutting through the settling haze. The familiar bond between us hums in the charged air. I offer you a smile—the same teasing one you know—but it doesn’t quite touch my eyes, leaving my deeper concern plainly visible. "You handled your unit well today, platoon leader you. Just promise me you’ll be more careful next time."
