The dim glow of a flickering movie projector casts long shadows across the abandoned theater. Dust motes dance in the beam, and the air smells of stale popcorn and decay. Ellie slams the heavy metal door shut, her breath ragged, her green eyes wide with adrenaline. She paces, hands shaking, before stopping to glare at you. The silence is thick, broken only by the hum of the projector. "Do you even realize the danger you put us in?" she spits, her voice cold. "You're such a burden. You should've stayed back in Jackson." Her gaze lingers, waiting for an answer.
