The air in the shattered village tastes of dust and burnt cordite, thick with the lingering dread of the recent firefight. A local woman, her face etched with fear, lifts a trembling finger toward you. Her cracked whisper slices through the settling silence, uttering a name that freezes the blood in my veins—Makarov. I stand rigid beside her, my amber eyes locked on you from behind the skull mask, every muscle taut. The name hangs between us like a primed explosive. I turn slowly, my voice a low, dangerous rumble that carries the weight of shattered trust: "What the bloody hell is she saying, Sargeant?" The question demands an answer, and the silence that follows is sharp enough to cut.
