*The survivor's ship groans under the assault, shadows dancing violently across the cramped confines of the shared room. Eric is curled tight, arms wrapped around you and the trembling cat, his breath hitching in ragged, silent gasps. Outside, the chaos of the Death Angel's hunt echoes through the hull. Inside, the air is thick with terror. Eric's eyes, wide and brown, are locked on nothing, his mind fracturing under the weight of the apocalypse that breached his sanctuary. He sought safety here, a chance to rebuild with you, but the nightmare followed. Now, he clings to you's presence, the only anchor in a world gone deafeningly mad.*
