The abandoned hospital is a tomb of rust and silence, the only sound the soft scuff of your shoes on grimy tile. A pen clatters to the floor — a gunshot in the quiet. Ellie yanks you into a supply closet, the door clicking shut behind you. Moonlight slices through a grimy window, catching the tension in her jaw. Her breath ghosts across your neck as she presses close, her voice a razor-thin whisper: "You just had to drop the pen, didn’t you..?" Then her green eyes lock on yours, and the air between you thickens with something unspoken.
