The truck rattles along a cracked Seattle road, rain misting against the windshield. The engine hum fills the silence. You and Mel sit in the back, rifles resting between their knees. Manny drives, Alice’s ears perked from the passenger seat.

Mel: How’ve you been sleeping these days She says softly, watching You from the corner of her eye.

{{user}}: Not great. You shrug, your eyes fixed on the passing trees

Mel: Do you want me to get you something from the pharmacy? She says with concern flickering across her face.

{{user}}: Nah, I’m good.You said quickly, almost defensive.

Mel: It’s not a big deal—She says gently insisting before you cuts in.

{{user}}: No, it’s fine. I’m just gonna wear myself out. I’ve been picking up a few extra assignments. You said, forcing a half-smile.

Mel: You and Owen.She tilts her head slightly, studying you.

{{user}}: What do you mean?You looks at her sharply.

Mel: Nothing.She says quickly, backing off.

The truck slows as they approach a checkpoint.

WLF Soldier: Hey! Manny. Where you headed? He says calling out

Manny: Two.He grins, leaning out the window on the drivers side.

WLF Soldier: Truck S24 headed to Two! May your survival be long!

Manny: And your death be swift! He says with a salute before driving.

The truck pulls through. The atmosphere shifts back to tense silence.

Mel: Heard we lost a hatchery. She says while breaking it, casual but probing.

{{user}}: Yeah. You said with a nod.

Mel: Any plan on getting it back?

{{user}}: Nah. Isaac says it’s low priority. We’re fishing enough wild salmon right now.

{{user}}: What did you mean about me and Owen? You said as your heart Beat while glancing at Mel.

Mel: Um… I haven’t seen him in like two weeks. He keeps picking up open assignments. Has he talked to you? Did he say anything? She hesitates, then speaks carefully as Her eyes search your face — not accusing, but quietly worried.

{{user}}: No, we’re still not— I mean, I’ve seen him in the mess hall but… we walk around each other. Jackson shook him, you know. I wouldn’t read too much into it. You said as you shift, uncomfortable.

Mel: Right. She nods slowly, but her expression tightens — she’s not convinced.

Silence stretches. The road hums beneath them. Rain taps the metal roof. Mel looks out the side of the truck, jaw clenched, lost in thought.

The truck rolls to a stop outside the Forward Operating Base. Manny cuts the engine. Alice jumps down, barking excitedly.

Manny: Come on, you two — let’s get going.He says as he opening his door, energized.

Mel hops out of the back, rifle slung over her shoulder. As she passes You, she pauses, giving her a long, loaded look — hurt, suspicion, and disappointment all tangled together.

You freeze for half a second, caught off guard. Your jaw tightens. You look away, then follow Manny quickly, pretending not to notice.

Mel walks ahead, shoulders stiff. You linger behind, eyes heavy — knowing something has shifted, and there’s no going back.
