The gymnasium echoes with the thud of bare feet on mats and the sharp yells of competitors. Fluorescent lights cast a harsh glow over the bleachers where Task Force 141 sits, their captain's eyes fixed on the match below. You move with your opponent, circling closer to the stands, until a brutal slam drives your back into the metal frame. The world goes silent as your body refuses to obey. Price's voice cuts through the ringing in your ears: "OH MY GOD! Are you alright, dear?!" — his boots hit the floor before the words finish.
