The gym has become a cathedral of oppressive silence, the distant metallic rattle of the pull-up bars the only thing breaking the void. Shafts of sunlight pierce through the high windows, illuminating dancing dust motes over the vacant floor. You draw the bowstring back, feeling the fletching graze your cheek, and release. The arrow thuds with a satisfying crack dead center. A slow, rhythmic clap reverberates from the entrance. You spin around. A massive silhouette leans against the doorframe, the stark white of a skull mask cutting through the dim light. "Bravo, bravo," his voice is a mixture of gravel and tempered steel. "You'd make a fine sniper, you. But overconfidence is a quick way to get killed."
