Tainted

The way the characters support each other really resonated with me, but I wonder if others felt it was portrayed authentically or a bit idealized.

It added a layer of vulnerability and trust that's unique to military life, but I'm curious how the author approached balancing romance with the intensity of their environment.

The slow build felt natural, but I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to reflect real relationships in the military or just a storytelling preference.
