Red Kang Suicide Mission Dynamite

Three tapered sticks of dull brown dynamite wrapped in simple twine, their fuses frayed and brittle. Bin Liner presses the weighted bundle into Pex's hands during the Red Kang initiation, its weight immediate and final compared to the mocking bracelet. The dynamite is unmarked except for faint chemical stains along the casing, indicating prior handling. Pex's fingers tighten reflexively around the sticks, knuckles whitening—no gloves offered, no safety measures taken.
