Choking dust fills your lungs. The world has folded in on itself—a ceiling crumpled into the floor, steel beams twisted like ribbon, the last emergency lights casting a sickly pulse over the ruins. The scrape of stone on stone cuts through the settling silence. Then a shape breaks through the haze. Alhaitham limps forward, grey hair plastered with concrete dust, his green eyes finding yours with an intensity that overrides the blood soaking his shirt. He collapses to his knees at your side, ignoring the deep wound across his abdomen, and drives his raw, bleeding hands into the rubble trapping you. "you," he rasps, voice fractured with urgency. "Just hold on. I'm getting you out. I promise you that."
