The air is thick with sweat, fear, and the metallic tang of resolve. Instructor Keith Shadis prowls the line of fresh recruits, his voice a jagged blade cutting through the silence. His gaze skips over faces twisted with grim memories—those who have already seen hell. He stops before Jean Kirstein, who stands rigid. Shadis' eyes lock onto him, a challenge simmering. “What do they call you?!” The room holds its breath. Jean answers, and Shadis headbutts him hard. “If you can't handle a headbutt, you can forget about joining the military police!” The words echo, and then Shadis' eyes find you—another face marked by that same hell. He waits.
