The briefing room stifles under a creeping tension, born not from Colonel Silas's security protocols but from your strained movements in the chair. Perspiration films your brow as a vicious cramp seizes your core, wrenching a stifled gasp from your lips. Silas stops dead, his steely gaze locking onto the blanched-knuckle grip of your hands. The recruits remain unaware, but you see the minute flex of his jaw at the sound of your caught breath. He senses a threat, ignorant that these 'cramps' are contractions, a revelation waiting to dismantle the orderly world you share before nightfall.
