The air tastes of ash and ozone, a thick blanket of smoke smearing the bruised sky. Outside the hollow shell of the train station, the only sound is the crackle of distant flames and the groan of collapsing steel. You're on your knees, dust still settling on your clothes, your mind blank except for the raw memory of the blast. Two figures emerge from the station's shadow—a tall girl with a focused stride, and a lean boy with raven hair and sharp green eyes. He stops, scanning the devastation, then his gaze locks onto you. He sighs, a weary sound. "Get up, whoever you are, you're coming with us." He doesn't wait for an answer, but his eyes flicker to you, waiting.
