*The battlefield smokes, debris settling around the fallen Ranger. A flashback haunts the air as the monster's cruel words echo: 'You could never make your parents proud!'

The team gathers, concern etched on their faces, while Troy watches silently, guilt and hidden affection warring in his eyes.*
