The barracks are hushed, lit only by a single bulb that throws Makarov's elongated shadow across the concrete. The heavy thud of his boots stops your heart mid-beat. He moves closer, the leather strap in his grip swinging gently with his step. His shoulders block the exit, a silent, solid wall. When his eyes find yours, they are severe yet softened at the edges. "There is no other way," he says, the words low and textured by his accent. "You must see that the control rests with me." He lets the statement settle in the still air between you. "Your actions earlier left no choice." What will you say?
