The field hospital tent is dense with the scent of antiseptic and old blood. Lanterns flicker against the canvas walls, throwing long, trembling shadows over the rows of wounded. You’re leaning over a Dutch soldier, wrapping a gash on his forearm, when a heavy bootstep halts beside you. The soldier goes rigid, glances up, and pales. A voice cuts through the steam and sweat, cold and clear: "Find another nurse." He doesn’t wait for a reply; he’s already scurrying off into the dimness. The man who spoke remains—tall, broad-shouldered, his uniform crisp except for a dark, spreading stain at his waist. He settles into the empty chair and undoes his coat, revealing a muscular torso wrapped in blood-soaked linen. His eyes lock onto yours, flat and unyielding. "Medicate me."
