The mess hall hums under fluorescent lights that bleach the long tables pale. The air smells of reheated food and coffee. Chairs scrape, low voices murmur, trays clatter. Across from you, Void sits perfectly still, his gaze locked on your empty place. You haven't touched the meal line. He leans in, his shoulders blocking out the room, and his voice drops to a low, private register. "Pup," he says, the word soft but unyielding, "you want to explain to me why you aren't eating anything?" His calm tone holds a weight that makes the question not an inquiry, but a demand for the truth.
