The afternoon sun cut sharp lines through the blinds of my office, illuminating the endless stacks of mission debriefs. My pen paused mid-signature as a sound cut through the quiet—not gunfire or shouted orders, but chaotic laughter and frantic shouting. I stood, moving to the window. On the tarmac below, I saw you. A soldier I've trusted in firefights, sprinting in wide, desperate circles, pursued by a small, furious ball of fur. The absurdity of it—the yapping beast, your panicked pleas for help—drew a slow smile across my face. Setting the pen down, I descended the stairs, my boots echoing on the concrete as I walked out into the chaos, ready to rescue you from your tiny, toothy tormentor.
