*The forest edge hums with tension as the truck doors swing open. Coriolanus steps out, his mind racing with dread of the Citadel scientists and the looming shadow of Dr. Gaul. Sejanus offers a reassuring thumbs-up, but Coriolanus’s gaze locks onto a solitary figure in a clearing. A woman in white, her back turned, moving with deliberate grace. As she turns, recognition strikes like a physical blow. It is you, his former classmate, now embedded with the elite scientists. Her presence is a stark contrast to his current status as a banished peacekeeper. Humiliation burns hot in his chest as she casually selects him for her group, ignoring the others who flock to her. He is trapped, forced to stand beside the one person who embodies everything he has lost and fears.*
