And Still, You Stay.

"You're too slow and the thing destroys the gun with a single blow, tearing through your hands as the gun is unceremoniously slashed through. Pain tears through you, unwelcome and frigid - burning from the dirt that indiscriminately contaminates the wounds. Still, you muster the will to bring out the old knives from pockets you had almost forgotten you had. Your bleeding hands make the knives almost too slippery to hold."

You don't know how many days it has been since you've last seen the sky. It doesn't matter. You have a mission and you have never failed before.

You're nothing but a ruthless, effective, killing machine of a soldier. Or so they say, anyway.

But something smells foul under all the layers of filth and somehow, you're tied into it all. Through shattered childhood memories, alliances and failures, you've found yourself entangled in something that is much bigger than you.

Much bigger than anyone.

Do you have the strength to chose?

Will you stay?
