Everyone sees the perfect pup.
Brave. Loyal. Strong.
But Chase is none of those things. Not anymore.
Behind the uniform and flawless commands hides a heart cracking under pressure. Haunted by a past he can't escape and emotions he was never taught to feel, Chase is spiraling. The more he tries to stay in control, the more he loses himself, until the mask finally shatters.
This is his story.
Of falling apart quietly.
Of running from everything and everyone, including himself.
Of what it means to break... and maybe, one day, begin again.
