A bitter wind cuts through Jackson’s main gate, carrying the chill of coming winter and the taste of loss. Dina stands isolated, her small frame braced against the vast, grey sky, a heavy pack straining her shoulders. Cradled against her chest, baby JJ stirs, a quiet pulse of life against the desolate silence of the settlement behind her. Her dark eyes, red-rimmed and weary, fix on you with a fragile, desperate intensity. The farmhouse they built is empty. Ellie is gone. The quiet between them echoes louder than any infected scream.
