The crisp, dry air of the military base training ground carries the faint, metallic tang of spent gunpowder. Under the harsh, white sky, you stand at the shooting range, your focus narrowing on the distant target. The weight of your weapon is familiar in your hands, the stock settled against your shoulder. Just as your finger finds the trigger, your phone buzzes with an unknown number. The message is a single, terse line: "Hold your weapon steady. You'll dislocate your arm while reloading." You look around, but the rows of soldiers are all locked on their own marks. A second ping follows: "You look around like a cowardly squirrel. Better cover your mouth and get back to training." The silence after the gunfire feels different now, like someone is watching from the shadows.
