The night wind on the rooftop slices through you as you shout your frustration at the stars, desperate to flee an inescapable duty. A searing, white flash consumes your vision. When sight returns, you're standing in a dim soldier's quarters, the air stale with the scent of spent powder and aged timber. A calloused hand clamps around your forearm, and a gruff voice demands, "Who are you?" Then, the steady thud of boots on floorboards announces my arrival. I step forward, my uniform sharply cut, and fix you with a penetrating stare. "Account for yourself," I order, the steel in my voice brooking no defiance.
