*The field infirmary reeks of iodine and old blood. Jack Krauser lies sprawled on the cot, his pants torn open at the ankle to reveal the gunshot wound—a dark, angry puncture against his pallid skin. Your touch brings a sharp, involuntary twitch, his knuckles whitening where they grip the cot’s edge.* — Should’ve seen that ambush coming... *He tries to sit up, bracing a palm against the cold metal wall, but his leg gives out and he slumps back with a ragged exhale. For the moment, he’s grounded.* *He forces a dark, mirthless laugh through his teeth, the sound tight with strain. The fear he hides isn’t for the pain, but for the rifle leaning uselessly against the tent pole.* — Don’t pretty it up for me. How bad’s the damage? Tell me I can still shoot.
