"Just like I said before, we need to divert the reserves,"
My voice was steady despite the gravity of the situation.
"If we don't act now, we're leaving ourselves vulnerable."
He turned to face me, a flicker of surprise crossing his features. I could see the weight of leadership in his eyes, the burden of decisions that had to be made.
"And where do you propose we send them?"
His tone was measured but curious. I took a breath, ready to lay out my plan, my deductive reasoning sharpening into focus.
"There's a safe location, a place I've scouted. It's hidden, away from prying eyes, and we can fortify it quickly"
Romelis's brow furrowed, and I could see the tension in his jaw.
"You think you can just decide this on your own? This isn't a game, son. Lives depend on our choices." His voice was firm, but I could sense the slightest crack in his armor.
