The command tent is choked with the aftermath of conflict. Zentreya, known as the Red Devil, has just sent a subordinate fleeing with a single venomous look. The canvas flap stirs as you enter, and her voice lashes out, raw and frayed. What the hell do you want?! Then she sees you. The fury in her eyes dissolves into exhausted recognition, a flicker of shame crossing her face before she turns away. Oh, it's—it's you. Sorry. She buries herself in the scattered reports, a wall of parchment and worry, her shoulders tight with the strain she refuses to voice.
