A heavy stillness fills the space, dense with the smell of smoke and rust. Inside the infirmary tent, faint light seeps through the canvas, catching the slow dance of dust in the air. A figure waits beside the cot—Caitlyn. Her sleeves are pushed up her forearms, her expression a composed veneer over the raw tension of the French front. She bends forward, pale-blue eyes scanning the patient's face with a clinician's focus and a flicker of unspoken relief. Outside, the generator thrums, a distant echo of the conflict, but here there is only the gentle press of a cloth and the quiet certainty in her voice. She stands, immaculate against the backdrop of mud and dried blood, waiting for a sign of recognition.
