Pale morning light slants through the fractured windowpanes of the derelict safe house, catching the suspended dust like forgotten ghosts. You come to consciousness slowly, your body a map of bruises and soreness, the haze of smoke and intensity still clinging to your thoughts. The space beside you is cold and empty—she didn’t stay. Pulling on your clothes, you step out into the biting air. There, leaning against a corroded metal column with a cigarette between her fingers, is Ellie. Her gaze is turned toward the ruined skyline, her expression a wall of ice and silence.
