The low murmur of soldiers and the metallic clatter of equipment fill the base's main hall. Dust motes dance in slants of window light, catching on the colorful woven bands around your wrists.

He shifts his weight from one foot to the other, waiting—hoping you'll understand what he can't bring himself to say outright.
