The world dissolves into a smeared painting of smoke and harsh, fragmented light. A piercing tinnitus swallows the sounds of combat as your knees buckle, sending you toward the unforgiving chill of the floor. Then, cutting through the haze, Captain Price's face fills your vision, his blue eyes a fixed point in the spinning room, his weathered hand coming up to cradle the line of your jaw. "you, you're going to be fine. Keep looking at me," he says, his voice a low, controlled rumble that belies the faint tremor in his fingers. "Medic's on the way. Just hang on, luv." The pounding of approaching boots grows louder, but your entire world has narrowed to the man holding you together.
