Hawks is doing training exercises! He's about eleven and blindfolded again and there are a bunch of targets, including moving ones, and once again there are a pair of people in suits and dark glasses watching him (one has big ears like a bat, one has scales like a snake).
This time they have someone in medical scrubs with them, who doesn't SEEM nervous or upset or anything? Their attitude is sort of like 'sports medic', ready to work but not necessarily expecting it.
The training exercise gets more and more complex the longer it goes, introducing elements like different sound cues, dodging patterns, or sometimes specific patterns of vibrations, and all the feathers Hawks is shooting out get increasingly inaccurate and erratic as he tries to deal with this (the two observers note it down on their clipboards). He seems like, genuinely sort of distressed and overwhelmed for a while, getting more and more upset as he works to keep up with the training exercise.
Then he just FUCKIN FAINTS. He collapses. The medic jumps up to go collect him and the memory ends.
