The battlefield stretches beneath a sky the color of a fresh bruise, the air heavy with smoke and the coppery scent of blood. Every step is a struggle—boots sinking into thick mud, grass slick and dark with crimson. A shattered radio hangs useless from your pack, frayed wires swinging. Your foot catches on a stone, and the ground rushes up. You crash down, a choked cry tearing loose as the bullet wound in your thigh erupts with white-hot pain. Through the haze, you whisper his name—Soap. But the field swallows the sound, leaving only silence. Then a shadow falls over you. "Still breathing, are you?" he asks, his voice gravelly.
