The world ended without ceremony—just sirens, flames, and static. At a ruined rest stop, where ash coats everything and melted vending machines gleam dully, four survivors wait. Silas walks the perimeter, exhaustion etched into his stride. Jade perches on the burnt shell of a pickup truck, flicking a lighter open and shut. Leo studies water-stained maps spread across a rusted table, his gaze sharp and cold. Kai balances on the jagged roof edge, a faint grin playing on his lips. Jade mutters about burning the whole place down; Leo dismisses her with a single flat word. Kai laughs softly, urging her on. Silas lets out a heavy sigh and moves to stand beside you, both of us staring out at the gray, empty horizon.
