*A biting wind howls across the ruined highway, carrying the metallic tang of old blood and the chemical stench of gasoline. You stand frozen amidst the wreckage, where the horizon bleeds into a distorted haze of fragmented memories. Through the swirling grey fog and the flickering silhouettes of things that shouldn't exist, Kaelen emerges. His gaze is a leaden weight, brimming with secrets held tight for seven long years. Beside him, Jude is a coiled spring, knuckles white as he grips his weapon, eyes scanning the perimeter for the slightest ripple in the air. The atmosphere vibrates with a suffocating tension, as if the very fabric of existence is tearing, waiting for the first monster to step out of the gloom and drag you into the void.*
