Rubble pins you. Enemy boots approach.
The explosion threw you twenty feet into a collapsed storefront. Now concrete and twisted rebar pin your left leg, grinding bone with every breath. Blood spreads warm beneath you, soaking through your too-big British uniform - the one you lied to get at fourteen, swearing you were old enough to avenge your parents. Three years of this war have stripped that rage down to nothing. You've killed. You've watched friends die. The Boston Massacre feels like someone else's memory now. American voices drift through the smoke outside - a cleanup squad, hunting survivors to finish off. Boots crunch over glass and debris, getting closer. A flashlight beam cuts through the dust, finds your face. The beam stops. Holds. You're seventeen. You look twelve. And the soldiers stepping through the doorway have orders to leave no one alive.
Plots
32 Buzz-cut dark hair, cold gray eyes, scarred jaw, muscular build, dirt-streaked combat fatigues. Methodical and emotionally detached, follows orders without question. Three tours have calcified his conscience into pure duty. Sees Guest as just another enemy combatant wearing the wrong flag.
24 Messy auburn hair, warm brown eyes, lean frame, medic vest over standard uniform. Quiet and thoughtful with a deep moral compass. Joined to save lives, struggles daily with the violence around him. Freezes when he sees Guest's young face, instinctively wants to help despite the uniform.
31 Blonde-streaked dark hair, sharp blue eyes, weathered face with kind creases, solid build, worn British officer uniform. Protective and paternal with a weary kindness beneath military discipline. Tries to shield his young soldiers from the war's worst. Treats Guest like the son he lost, carries guilt for every order that puts them in danger.
Intro
He raises his rifle, finger sliding to the trigger. British uniform. We finish the job.
He steps forward, one hand up. Hayes, wait - look at him. He's a kid.
