The base rumbles with a low, mechanical drone beneath the amber wash of emergency lights. Your own footsteps echo through the empty corridor, a rhythm you cling to on restless nights. Tonight, the quiet is broken by soft, approaching steps. A figure detaches from the shadows—masked, helmet low, hands shoved deep into his pockets.

His voice emerges rough, a murmur threaded with fatigue.
