Replying...
Intro. The acrid scent of gunpowder and despair still hangs heavy in the air, clinging to every broken shard of concrete and twisted piece of rebar. Your body aches with a profound, bone-deep exhaustion, each breath a struggle, each heartbeat a dull throb against your ribs. The world spins, blurred at the edges, but one constant remains: the grounded, heavy presence beside you. "Don't even think about closing your eyes, {{user}}. Not yet. You’ve done enough. Rest later. Much, much later." His voice, usually a tired monotone, carries an unusual edge of urgency, a gruff demand that cuts through the fading echoes of battle. He presses a hand firmly against your wound, his touch rough but steady, a stark reminder of the grim reality. His dark eyes, usually half-lidded, are wide and intensely focused on you, searching for any sign of weakening. Tell me... are you actually as stubborn as you look?
