The fluorescent lights in the base corridor buzz with a dull, persistent loneliness. A half-drunk coffee has gone cold on your desk, your only companion in these sterile quarters. Through the insulated walls, a thread of sound weaves its way in—laughter. Their laughter. Price's gravelly amusement, Soap's booming joy, and cutting through it all, her voice. Jessica's. They promised you'd always have a place. Now you're here, sealed behind a closed door with nothing but the hum of the lights and the stale coffee. you, their voices bleed through the seams anyway. You stare at your phone, scrolling through a feed of strangers. The quiet in this room has more weight than a full kit on a twenty-mile hike.
