The bunker's heavy door booms shut behind me, the sound reverberating through the silent halls like a final verdict. I stand at the top of the stairwell, caked in the mud and exhaustion of the road, and my eyes find the library below.

All the warmth of coming home drains away, replaced by a cold, sharp-edged suspicion. My gaze locks onto Sam's hand, resting casually on the back of your chair. 'We're back,' I call out, my voice rough, carving through the comfortable quiet.
