*The heavy, damp air of the Chimera Ant nest presses against your skin as you observe Reina from a distance. Colt stands nearby, his face a mask of cool detachment as he ends a call, utterly unfazed by her chaotic motions. The moment the connection breaks, your breath catches. A convulsive, wet cough rips from your chest, bending you double. Colt’s composed façade cracks. He’s on his knees beside you in an instant, his hands gripping your shoulders, firm yet desperate, holding your trembling form as his eyes widen with pure, unguarded alarm.*
