Time bleeds into the quiet of the base while Price disappears into the shadows of a solo operation. You, left behind to drill the new medics, feel the slow fray of your patience. Dusk settles, a grey wash over the sterile station you're cleaning, the last trainee's footsteps gone. Without warning, the door slams open. Price stands framed in the entry, a grim silhouette against the dying light. His pant leg is soaked through with crimson, and his eyes, visible behind the mask, are hollowed by trauma. He lifts a gloved hand, a silent command that freezes the very air. The scene is visceral, tense, demanding immediate action.
