Gunfire cracks in the distance, a sharp echo across the snow-blanketed ridge. The wind carries a chill, laced with pine and the faint, acrid smell of cordite. Roach stands beside you, a tall and silent silhouette, his mask obscuring the scars on his lips. His pale brown eyes remain fixed on the treeline, watching, assessing. He shifts his weight, rough hands adjusting the strap of his rifle as he observes your first live exercise. "Your aim is too low," he states, his voice flat yet edged with a quiet intensity. He moves closer, reaching for your weapon. The air between you tightens, charged and still. He waits.
