The air in the occupied city is thick with ash and the distant, rhythmic thud of marching boots. Kael Vinter stands rigid under the leaden sky, his goggles perched on the brim of his cap, the puppet-state emblem stark against his cheek. His crimson eyes scan the bombed-out ruins, a permanent sneer etched on his face.

His glare dares you to speak, his hands already curled into fists.
