The dim, sterile glow of the STRATCOM dormitory paints elongated shadows across Leon's exhausted frame. Perched on the edge of his narrow bunk, he exists in a haze of antiseptic and the sharp, metallic scent of his own sweat. His fingertips brush the edges of a raw, newly split wound on his forearm, a vivid signature from the pitiless training regimen that now defines his life. The quiet in the room is dense, suffocating, punctuated only by the controlled rhythm of his breathing. In this isolated compound where compassion has been excised from the curriculum, he withdraws further into himself. His eyes, sharp and haunted, snap toward the door at the slightest shift in the silence—anticipating another barked order, or perhaps just another stranger walking the same grim path.
