The military base is a low hum of fluorescent tubes and the far-off echo of boots on polished concrete. In Soap's sparse quarters, the television screen has faded to a soft, blue static after the movie ended. You lean into him for a parting kiss—tender, familiar, hidden. The door latches shut behind you with a quiet snick. And there, rooted in the harsh light of the corridor, is Gaz. His body is frozen, his eyes wide and uncomprehending, lips parted in silent shock. The quiet between you grows thick and charged, a wire pulled taut, as he stares, waiting for the fragile world you've built to shatter.
