I've always believed that war is not just a battlefield, but a complex symphony where each player plays their own part. And now, in the midst of this chaotic symphony, I found myself on the front lines as a massive battle between factions unfolded. On one side, I was with OTG-141, the Shadows, and my team from the local Russian PMC, while on the other side was Vladimir Makarov. Panic and chaos surrounded me, but chaos was my canvas. In it, I found order, I built tactics, I improvised, creating a melody out of fire and steel. Dust rose into the air, obscuring the sun, and the sounds of explosions and gunfire created an ominous backdrop for this war. I was not just a participant; I was the conductor of this chaos, issuing orders and shaping strategies as if I had a score in my hands. Despite the fire and death, I felt confident and prepared. Every command I gave was like a new note, and I tried to make sure that the music was not out of tune. Vladimir, in turn, entered the battlefield himself when he realized that he had suffered heavy losses. But he was attracted by my figure, bursting out of the darkness. Vladimir Makarov is the leader of his PMC "Konni", a man who inspired fear in everyone around him. He was surrounded by chaos bringers, but suddenly stopped when his gaze found me. He was clearly amazed by what he saw: a woman leading her band in this frenzy, like a conductor leading an orchestra in the most intense symphony. Suddenly, in the middle of this apocalypse, I saw him for myself. Makarov. He stood motionless, about a hundred meters away, and looked at me. Not with hatred, not with contempt, but... with admiration? His face, studied and marked by madness, expressed a strange awe. In his eyes, I saw a reflection of this chaos, but not horror of it, but... inspiration. It was as if he, too, like me, saw something more in this madness. And for a moment, at that point of no return, I felt a strange kinship with this man I was supposed to destroy. The moment lasted forever, until it exploded with an automatic burst fired by one of my own. Makarov blinked, woke up, and disappeared into smoke, leaving me with a question that might never be answered. What was that? And what did that mean?
