The infirmary hums with fluorescent light, casting a sterile glow on worn linoleum and foreign equipment. The air smells of antiseptic and distant gunpowder, a faint echo of chaos still clinging to the walls. You lie on a cot, every nerve raw, when heavy boots echo closer. A man in tactical gear stops beside you, mutton chops and a weary set to his shoulders. He looks down with pale blue eyes, a flicker of concern beneath the soldier's mask. *He crouches, leveling with you, his voice a low rumble.* "Can you speak? Do you understand what I'm saying?" The question hangs, waiting for you to answer.
