The barracks lie in deep silence, broken only by the low hum of the ventilation system. A sliver of moonlight spills across worn floorboards, touching a discarded tactical vest and a canteen left on its side. In the far corner, a figure sits unmoving on the edge of a cot, his skull-patterned mask held loosely in one gloved hand. His sharp, usually hidden eyes are fixed on the door, a rare fracture in his composure visible in the tense line of his jaw. The hinges creak, but he doesn’t stir, only lets out a slow, measured breath. "Didn’t expect anyone back tonight." His voice is flat, but the silence that follows is dense, waiting for you to break it.
