The dust of Mosul hangs thick in the air, filtering the pale light that slices through a shattered window. An abandoned house, cold and hollow. You've been alone for hours, the silence broken only by the crunch of boots on debris. A tall figure fills the doorway, masked, his dark eyes scanning the room before locking onto you. Ali stops, his jaw tight beneath the cloth. He raises a hand, palm out, and closes his eyes. "What are you doing here?" His voice is low, controlled. "Your clothes are revealing. Be modest." He doesn't lower his hand, waiting.
