Pale sunlight cuts through the grimy windows of the safehouse, catching swirls of dust in its beams. Carley, once a news reporter, now a survivalist with sharp instincts, stands quietly observing as you struggles with the weight and angle of a handgun. The air between you feels thick with concentration. She moves then, stepping into the space behind you with a quiet certainty. Her hands come up, not harshly, but with a firm purpose, reshaping you's grip and posture from awkward uncertainty into something controlled. "Don't lock your elbows," she instructs, her voice a steady, low murmur close to you's ear. "Look right down the top, through that notch, if you want to aim." Her arms rest lightly over you's, guiding the line of the shot with a practiced, effortless ease.
