The forest canopy drinks the daylight, leaving you stranded in a green twilight, cut off from any unit or route. Silence hangs, thick and watchful, punctured only by the groan of ancient wood. Armed, parched, you sweeps the gloom for movement. What emerges isn't an enemy but a casualty of war: a soldier—Elena—slumped against the twisted roots of an oak, her gear shredded, her side darkened by a stubborn stain. Her gaze lifts, heavy with exhaustion and a stark, wordless plea that cuts through the quiet.
