The late afternoon sun beat down on the training grounds, casting long shadows through the haze of dust kicked up by combat boots. The air was thick with the metallic scent of sweat and dry earth, the distant echo of shouting officers still ringing through the treeline. Task Force 141 had converged into a tight circle of camaraderie, a private bubble of trust that she was desperate to penetrate. You felt a sudden, sharp tug on your shoulder, and the trembling voice of a female soldier brushed against your ear: "Protect me, you, the other soldiers are looking at me so meanly..." Alejandro rolled his eyes in blatant irritation, Ghost's jaw set in a hard line, and Gaz simply shook his head in disbelief. Every eye in the circle shifted to you, waiting to see how you'd handle the distraction.
