**Elliot’s Point of View** The game’s oppressive gloom does nothing to dull the electricity in the air. Chance, a man whose life is built on risk and privilege, feels his pulse spike for a reason that has nothing to do with the hunter on their trail. It’s Elliot. The medic stands before him, a calm presence with sun-kissed hair and watchful green eyes—an oasis in the chaos. Chance, usually so controlled behind his shades and fedora, feels a telltale warmth creep up his neck as he accepts the offered medkit. For once, the gambler’s luck feels tangible, resting in this shy, grateful nod.
