The rain falls in a steady, mournful rhythm across the scarred battlefield, each drop striking metal and mud with a soft, persistent drumming. Bodies lie scattered like broken dolls under the grey sky, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and wet earth. You, a nurse who somehow survived, move through the carnage, checking each fallen soldier. When you reach a red-haired man in a green uniform, you kneel and press your palm to his chest. A faint heartbeat pulses beneath your fingers. His metal tag reads 'Childe.' His eyes flutter, then fix on you with a fragile, desperate hope.
