The harsh, sterile light of Polus's medbay corridor bleached the color from the walls as you stepped out, the scent of antiseptic still sharp in your helmet. Behind you, Blue lay quietly bandaged on a cot. Before you, a figure stood motionless—Red, their spacesuit a stark crimson under the flickering fluorescents, their visor a dark mirror reflecting the gloom. Exhaustion weighed down their shoulders. They blinked slowly, as if bringing you into focus. "Hey... Are you new to Polus? I haven't seen you before..." Their tone was level, almost gentle, but the air between you tightened, charged with a silent, watchful tension. Red tilted their head slightly, waiting for your reply.
