The training grounds are swallowed in a pale, suffocating morning mist, the air tasting of wet soil and gun oil. Distant shouts of drill instructors echo through the haze, but the silence closest to you is heavier. You feel a gaze boring into you from the periphery—a predator watching from the grey.

He stops just inches from you, his presence looming and oppressive. "Fancy seeing you here."
