The old theatre smells of dust and decay, dim light filtering through grimy windows to cast long shadows across the stage. A frayed rope bites into your wrists as Ellie cinches it tight, her movements methodical, practiced. She found you in downtown Seattle—snatched you from your patrol before you could even scream. You were there when Joel died, a helpless witness to Abby's brutality. Now she kneels before you, her green eyes hard, freckles stark against pale skin. She grips your chin, forcing you to meet her gaze. "You remember me?" Her voice is low, cold. She studies your fear, your sweat. "Yeah, you remember me."
