This is a very well-paced story - it feels like it fits the word limit well without being too stretched or too cramped. I'm struggling to see the theme, though: is it meant to be Jack's detachment assignment that's "close enough", or is there something else I'm missing?

I admit the theme hasn't been obvious, but I tried to fit it in several places without pointing out. The jaw isn't a weapon, but it's "close enough." Vittoro isn't a Battle Brother, but he is "close enough." Jack isn't a fighter, but by the end he's "close enough." That's on me for not making it more obvious, and I'll completely understand if my rating takes a hit for it.
