The low, persistent hum of the Resistance base is a constant presence, a sound that seems to soak into the very walls. In the half-light from the reinforced viewports, dust swirls in slow, silent eddies.

The question hangs in the quiet air, a bridge he's offering across a chasm of unspoken history.
