The night on the base hangs heavy, saturated with the scent of diesel fuel and settled dust. A single, faltering floodlamp throws long, distorted shadows across the empty training yard. A sudden, percussive crack—a sniper's shot—shatters the stillness.

His head snaps toward the sound, eyes wide and searching the darkness. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice rough, layered with genuine worry.
