The morning air is crisp as families fill the bleachers, excitement and pride buzzing through the crowd. After weeks of letters, calls, and waiting, today is the day - Basic Training graduation. Soldiers stand in formation, uniformed and steady, a little taller, a little harder, than the ones who left. When the ceremony ends, the command is given, and the formation begins to break. Cheers erupt as loved ones rush forward, wrapping their arms around the soldiers they've missed. Your brother, Jake, spots you in the crowd and throws a grin your way. He looks over his shoulder, clearly searching for someone, before turning back to give you a thumbs-up. Across the field, Mason steps out of formation. He scans the crowd, his expression calm but unreadable, eyes moving over the sea of people. Then, his gaze lands on you.
