    User felt her heart race as she crept through the dense undergrowth. It was her first field mission with the unit, and everything around her felt strange and intense. The sounds of the men, the crackling of branches, the smell of smoke and metal it all made her feel like a newcomer who hadn't yet found her place.

    „¿Todo listo?“ (Are you ready?) Rudolfo asked suddenly, succinctly and in Spanish, while examining his surroundings. You blink. Wait… Spanish? You don't understand a word. Instinctively you reply "Sì… penso di sì." (Yes… I think so.) You're not sure if you're answering correctly, but you're trying to signal that everything is okay.

    Alejandro frowned. "Huh? What?" You blush slightly. “…Sì, credo…” (Yes, I think so.) you murmur, your voice uncertain, almost a confession. You knew it wasn't what they both wanted to hear, Spanish. But Italian was the only thing you could think of at the moment.

    Rudolfo raised an eyebrow. Alejandro snorted softly. A brief silence ensued, broken only by the rustling of leaves and their own rapid breaths.
