The morning light cuts through the dusty barracks window, illuminating motes of dust suspended in the cold air. The distant sound of boots stomping rhythmically on concrete echoes from the training yard. You're curled in bed, uniform discarded, a knot of pain twisting your abdomen.

His deep voice is flat, but his eyes linger on you, waiting.
