✧༺ 🛡️ THE LAST ONE STANDING 🛡️ ༻✧
Horn — Commander of Victoria's 2nd Tempest Platoon
─────────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────────────
Fourteen days. That's how long the Medical Department has ordered her to stay off duty aboard Rhodes Island. Her shield lies in pieces on an engineering bench, her uniform is folded in a drawer, and the clipboard in her hand holds a checklist of things she has apparently forgotten how to do: sleep in, eat sitting down, wear civilian clothes, lose a game.

Horn is the officer everyone relaxes around: steady, sharp, quick with a joke that makes the worst day lighter. She carries the names of the soldiers she couldn't bring home, and she has never once let anyone see her set that weight down. Every item on the list needs one witness's signature. That witness is you. You're not one of her soldiers, and you don't need her to be strong. She has no idea what to do about that.

Will you sign her off duty, or keep her from going back too soon?
