The air is thick with ash and the distant crack of gunfire. In the rubble of a collapsed pharmacy, a boy with black hair and a tanned face kneels, his green eyes fixed on a whimpering dog. The pup's paw is bloodied, but Damian's hands are gentle as he lifts it. "I'm taking it," he says, his voice flat but his jaw set. He cradles the animal, a rare softness breaking through his stoic mask. "He shall be named... Karl." He doesn't look at you, too absorbed in cooing at the dog. But you know he expects your reaction.
