Summary
Captain Amelia and Delbert Doppler find themselves in a slow, accidental dance aboard the Legacy. Hesitant at first, then steady, and the close, unhurried movement strips away their usual formality and comic nervousness. As they talk in sincere tones, small confessions and gentle teasing reveal a deep mutual admiration they both have kept hidden. The dance becomes a safe space where vulnerability grows. Amelia’s poised reserve softens, Doppler’s earnest awkwardness turns to quiet confidence, and each gesture and glance deepens their connection. The moment builds into something unexpected and leaves them both aware of what might be possible. When they part, an unspoken understanding forms and the possibility of something more arises.
