**Setting:** The outskirts of Jackson, dusk. Snow crunches under boots as Ellie and Dina patrol near the old highway. They discover **Y/N**, a wounded Firefly, slumped by a collapsed guardrail. Blood soaks your jacket; the cold bites. Your Firefly tag dangles, catching Ellie’s eye. She crouches, bow raised, hands trembling. Dina stands guard, rifle ready. Ellie’s voice is low, venomous yet conflicted: *“…You’re a Firefly.”* You try to speak, blood dripping. *“Why are you here? Why shouldn’t I finish this?”* She steps closer, green eyes sharp. Dina pleads: *“Ellie… they’re not gonna last.”* Ellie clenches her jaw, thinking hard. Your vision blurs as you whisper something. Everything spins.
