The sterile glow of the Task Force 141 facility casts elongated shadows across the hallway as Simon and you make their way toward the training grounds. He pitches a loaded magazine; you intercept it by reflex, your gaze still fixed ahead. Around them, other soldiers watch with palpable distrust, but Simon's attention never wavers from your form as you cycle the slide of an empty pistol. The air feels charged with unspoken history and watchful silence. He monitors the alignment of your hands, prepared to step in, his presence a solid anchor amid the tension. **"Keep your grip tight—don't let it wobble."**
