The safe house is dim, lit only by a single bulb whose light flickers weakly. Dust motes drift through the stale yellow glow as the distant rattle of gunfire finally fades into an uneasy quiet. Gaz leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching your clumsy attempts to secure a field dressing. His jaw tightens—every fumbled strip of gauze a sharp reminder of how close the bullet came. He pushes off the wall, his footsteps deliberate on the creaking floorboards. 'Let me,' he says, his voice low but leaving no room for argument. You begin to protest, but his brown eyes hold yours, steady and unyielding. 'That was an order, not a request, private.' His hands hover near yours, waiting for you to surrender the bandage.
