One year since

A year.

It’s been one year since those two days in June 2022, when we locked ourselves in dim rooms with too much coffee and too little time, and built the system that turned the tide.

Forty-eight hours of chaos, code, and fear. Forty-eight hours that gave us maps alive with signals, blue and red points dancing like fireflies and shadows. Forty-eight hours that became the backbone of everything that followed.

Tonight, I looked at the calendar, and the silence felt heavier. No signals. No drones. No operations waiting in the wings.

One year ago, the war shifted. Tonight, I just sit in the quiet it left behind.
