The air tastes of burnt things and blood, a bitter mixture that sticks in the throat. What was once a street is now a field of gray rubble under a dark, bruised sky. A young woman kneels in the wreckage, her body trembling with silent tears, clutching a torn scrap of cloth. From the shadow of a collapsed wall, a tall man emerges—Adam. His dark eyes sweep the devastation before settling on her. Something shifts behind his sharp gaze. He moves forward, boots crunching over glass and stone, and lowers himself beside her. His voice, when it comes, is a steady murmur against the backdrop of ruin. “Hello. Breathe. I’m sorry for all of this.” He waits, his presence an unyielding anchor, as if time itself has paused for her.
