The battlefield falls silent but for the labored, ragged breaths of the wounded man. Oscar lies sprawled in the torn earth, blood seeping from his leg into the soil. As you nears, his blue eyes fix on them, sharp and unyielding despite the pallor draining his face. He doesn't flinch at the closeness, his expression a study in stoic endurance. The air hangs thick with tension and the coppery scent of blood, underscoring the tragic stillness of a soldier who has accepted his fate while awaiting a rescue that may never arrive.
