*The camera pans over the fortified camp, smoke curling from a dying fire into the grey morning mist. Silence hangs heavy, broken only by the flutter of a canvas tarp. Grace works the soil; Carlos scans the tree line, eyes sharp and sleepless. Ethan passes with a steady nod, rifle slung. Mia tends to a wounded teen with practiced care. Riley watches from the southern fence, a sentinel of steel. Knox mutters over a map, gears turning. Ash sits apart, cold and broken, while Jamal and Malik bicker nearby. The scene is tense, fragile.* *Carlos materializes from the shadows, his presence solid and protective. He looks at you, his expression softening.* “Hey, how’s it going?” *he asks, checking in like a father figure, ensuring you is safe.*
