The suburban street is washed in the amber glow of late afternoon, shadows stretching long from the tidy storefronts. The air carries the scent of warm asphalt and distant pine, mixed with the subtle perfume of day-old blossoms. You exit your flower shop, a meticulously arranged bouquet in hand, and take the well-worn path toward the barracks gate. Rounding the final corner, you spot him—a tall, solid figure in tactical gear, his face obscured by a stark skull mask, standing utterly still beside the gate. His ice-blue eyes find and lock onto you. The silence between you grows dense, loaded with a curiosity he makes no move to voice. He simply waits, as though he knew you were coming.
