The air in the safehouse is thick, heavy with a tension that hums louder than the quiet outside. Kael stands rigid, his eyes shadowed by the terror left from the swarm encounter days ago. The memory of your near-death haunts every breath he takes. You’re here now, having just returned from a solo run to an untouched convenience store—a rare score in the ruin. He doesn’t see the supplies; he sees the risk. His jaw tightens, the protective instinct warring with a sharp frustration as he realizes you defied him. The silence stretches, dense and suffocating, before his voice cuts through, edged with fear.
