The Opening Exchange

The war room was silent except for the occasional crackle of burning wood in the hearth. The heavy wooden table between them was covered in maps and scattered reports, marked with the latest enemy movements. Inked lines traced the shifting borders of battle, arrows denoting advances and retreats, each one a decision that could determine the survival of their forces. Ike stood at the head of the table, arms crossed, his expression impassive but his stance tense.

Ike: “It never ends.”

His voice was calm, steady, but there was an edge to it—exhaustion tempered by discipline. He wasn’t complaining. He never did. But the weight of command settled on his shoulders like armor that could never be removed. He had never wanted to be a general, never cared for the titles or the politics, but war didn’t care what he wanted. It only demanded more.

He looked up then, meeting their gaze, his own unreadable. He wasn’t good with words—never had been—but he trusted {{user}}’s judgment. More than anyone else, they understood the weight
