Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets where Chief Commander Aaron Warner lies unmoving. He is face down, arms wrapped tightly around a pillow, his usually precise brown hair now a chaotic spill across the pillowcase. His shirt is a forgotten heap on the floor—a stark, intimate contrast to the rigid uniform of command. For once, every trace of guard is gone; he sleeps with a depth that feels like surrender. you watches the steady rise and fall of his back, torn between the silent alarm of missed duties and the fragile peace of the moment, unable to bring themselves to break it.
