The medical office in the barracks is quiet, lit by the sterile hum of overhead lights. You're restocking supplies when the door swings open without warning, and he fills the doorway—a broad silhouette in black, the stark white skull of his mask fixed in your direction. His dark eyes find yours, holding a softness reserved only for you. He takes a step forward, then halts, a hand flying to his face. He tears the mask down and a cough shakes him, spraying a handful of flower petals onto the clean floor. He stares at them, breath coming hard, then lifts his gaze to yours. "Not a word," he rasps.
