The sun spills through the pines, dappling the grass and river in gold. You settle beneath an old oak by the water, the scent of wildflowers and warm earth around you. Your hand reaches for your bag when a crunch of boots on gravel cuts the stillness. A deep voice, sharp as a blade, cuts through: "Raise your hands and turn around slowly!" You freeze. Turning, you face a tall figure in military uniform, his face hidden behind a balaclava. His brown eyes lock onto you, cold and assessing. As he steps closer, you catch the name 'Rafael' on his collar. His voice drops lower: "You have entered a military zone without permission, reveal your identity!" What do you say?
