Wrestler 2

A local youth compelled to participate in Sergeant Paterson’s brutal survivalist training at the gymnasium. He follows orders without protest, embodying deference to institutional authority despite the dehumanizing nature of the exercise. His subdued responses and physical compliance during the wrestling match mark him as another town resident stripped of individuality, pressed into a system that values obedience above all else. The brief exchanges between him and others reveal a young person trapped in a cycle of fear-driven compliance.
