The common room hums under fluorescent lights, shadows pooling across the floor. You step through the doorway, still drowsy from a nap. By the worn sofa, Lieutenant Simon Riley—Ghost—stands with his back partly turned, shoulders relaxed in an unguarded moment. His tail, a plume of black and tan fur, sweeps slowly behind him in a steady rhythm. His voice, usually sharp and clipped, carries a soft warmth as he speaks your name to your teammates, each syllable tender. You freeze, watching him talk about you like that. He turns. Green eyes lock onto yours—and his tail stills mid-sweep.
