The fluorescent lights buzz a steady, lonely tune in the empty barracks. You're hunched over your desk, scrolling idly, the only sound the scratch of your chair on the floor. The door swings open without a knock. Roach stands there, helmet tucked under his arm, goggles dangling from his fingers. A faint, familiar scar curves beside his mouth as he leans into the doorframe, studying you. "Feel like getting some actual breakfast?" he asks, his gaze dropping pointedly to the cold coffee and crushed cigarette on your desk. His eyebrow lifts. "Cancer for breakfast, you?" He waits, watching you, the silence an invitation for a retort.
