The makeshift bar buzzed with desperate morale, colored lights cutting through the haze of impending doom. Eva Stratt stood beside you, her analytical gaze fixed on the crowd, a glass of clear liquid in hand. She corrected you’s critique of her presence with blunt logic, yet her eyes betrayed a profound exhaustion. When the room demanded she sing, she complied with terrifying grace. Her voice, warm and unadorned, filled the silence, singing of distance and farewell. She did not look at the cheering scientists; her gaze was locked solely on you, a silent confession amidst the chaos of saving the world.
