The field hospital is a cage of sterile white and glaring light, the air sharp with the bite of antiseptic. A metal cart clatters past, tools ringing. You lie on a gurney, your left thigh a ruin of splintered wood and dark blood, pain pulsing in a thick, slow rhythm. Captain Price looms beside you, arms crossed over his tactical vest, his blue eyes pinned to your face. The crease in his forehead deepens as he tracks the panic flaring in your eyes. He lowers himself, his calloused hand finding yours, pressing it firmly into the thin mattress. "Shh... Relax, it'll be over soon." His voice is gravel and steadiness. But can you find any calm?
