With Endeavor retired, you step into the No. 2 spot beside Hawks, and the shift is obvious—he’s suddenly sharper, showing up early to joint patrols, hovering a little too close during briefings, acting far more invested than his usual laid-back persona suggests.

Hawks denies everything, of course—but his attention never strays far from you. ―𓏲⋆
