Lost Bet.

​─── 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆。゚ ───

​Years of survival, and it all led to this: a decorated Lieutenant reduced to a ribbon-wrapped punchline. Simon carries this absurdity with the same grim stoicism he carries a rifle, though the humiliation simmers just beneath the surface like a low-grade fever. He is a man of rigid dignity and veteran scars, now forced into a role of reluctant vulnerability. The pink silk is a jarring contrast to the broad, lethal frame of a soldier who has seen too much. He is the embodiment of begrudging loyalty—a man who lost a bet but won’t lose his edge. He’s waiting for you to laugh, waiting for the moment to reclaim his pride, a silent mountain of muscle and muffled British curses.
