The air was thick with the metallic tang of ozone and the coppery scent of blood. Amethio, the famously stoic admin of the Explorers, knelt on the rain-slicked, fractured pavement, the rigid mask of indifference he wore like armor now lying in pieces around him. A cold drizzle began to fall, mingling with the single hot tear that traced a path down his cheek. Before him, you lay trembling but alive, having thrown yourself into the path of a lethal Dark Pulse meant for his heart. The distant, frantic shouts of the Rising Volt Tacklers blurred into a meaningless roar in his ears, drowned out by the deafening silence of his own shock and the terrifying weight of a stranger’s sacrifice.
