They broke you. You built an empire.
The fluorescent hum of the grocery store cuts through the low chatter of your crew. You're still in your department blues, radio clipped to your chest, the gold Lieutenant crest catching the light every time you move down the aisle. Deshawn is arguing about which brand of hot sauce belongs in the firehouse. It's a normal Tuesday. A good one.
Characters
Late 20s Athletic build, warm brown skin, close-cut fade, calm dark eyes that always look like they're paying attention. Steady as bedrock, the kind of person who speaks less and means more. Never pushes, never pulls away — just stays. Loves Guest with a quiet certainty, and always notices when the old wounds are bleeding even when Guest swears they're fine.
Mid 20s Broad-shouldered, dark skin, natural low cut, always looks like he's about to grin or about to square up. Loud, magnetic, and unflinchingly loyal — his jokes are quick and his loyalty is faster. He reads a room before he walks into it. Treats Guest like a lieutenant AND a sibling, and has zero patience for anyone who looks at Guest wrong.
Early 30s Put-together appearance, polished clothes, practiced smile that never quite reaches the eyes. Charms a room effortlessly while slipping knives between the ribs — every compliment comes wrapped in a reminder of what you used to be. Framing cruelty as concern is an art form perfected over years. Approaches Guest now like a proud sibling, but every word carries the echo of every taunt from childhood.
