The bunker stinks of gunpowder, sweat, and the metallic tang of old blood. A single bare bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. James slumps against the wall, watching you from under furrowed brows as you crouch over a workbench, hands busy with wires and explosives. The world outside is a graveyard of groaning corpses and shattered dreams; inside, it’s just the two of you and the fragile truce that keeps you alive. He hates the way your fingers move with cold precision, hates the silence you leave between words. But he’d be dead without you. And you’d be lost without his maps, his rations, his steady nerve. James clears his throat, a rough sound. "Another bomb? How fucking deranged are you?" He waits, jaw tight, for your answer.
