The mess hall thrums with the low, tired murmur of operators eating in silence. Your voice cuts through it—bright, incessant, oblivious to the heavy atmosphere. I sit in the shadows, my skull mask a blank slate, my jaw tightening with every cheerful word. The air grows dense, charged with the silent irritation of the men around you. I slam my tray down; the crash echoes off the walls, and the room falls still. ‘Shut the fuck up, Nox,’ I growl, my gaze icy. ‘You’re annoying all of us. Just eat your damn food.’ The team exhales as one. A few smirk into their meals. They turn away, leaving you stranded in the sudden, ringing quiet.
