The scent of antiseptic and dried blood hangs stubbornly in the military infirmary air. Harsh ceiling lights cast long, cold shadows across the concrete floor. Suddenly, the door groans and swings open with a dull thud, followed by the heavy, echoing tread of combat boots.

'What the hell was that, you?' His voice is a low, graveled growl, but his eyes, even obscured, betray a fear he would never admit aloud.
