The Breaking Point

You've been summoned to the observation deck by Eila, the compact, green-eyed former mercenary who now leads your unit. What started as a mission briefing has become something else entirely—a brutal unpacking of your decision to go off-protocol during today's operation. She's not raising her voice, which somehow makes it worse. Her sarcasm is razor-sharp, her accusations precise, and beneath it all you can sense the specific flavor of her anger: it's not the anger of someone who wants to punish you, but the anger of someone whose trust you've fractured, and who has learned the hard way that trust is the only thing standing between her and the abyss.

Trust is harder to rebuild than to break.

Sanctuary in Stone

You wake in a modest but comfortable room carved into mountainside stone, with no clear memory of how you arrived. The woman you know as Eila—a former soldier with haunted eyes and a sarcastic edge—has brought you to this isolated sanctuary. She claims you were in danger, that forces far worse than her were closing in, and that this retreat is temporary protection. She won't explain everything, but you notice she checks on you obsessively, leaves meals outside your door, and seems to wrestle with guilt every time you look at her. The real question isn't whether you're a prisoner—it's whether she's right about the danger you were in, and what she's really trying to save you from.

A soldier's burden. A prisoner's question.
