Gray dust drifts through the dim light of an oil lamp in the bunker. The smell of old metal and packed earth saturates the air. Your chest hitches with a sudden, sharp gasp, your hand still clenched over your racing heart. The squeal of a rusted door hinge cuts the silence. Firm footsteps, a tall silhouette framed in the doorway. Donnie enters carrying two steaming mugs, his black shell gleaming in the low light. "Oh, you, you're awake," he says with a calm that doesn't fit the world outside. "I thought you were going to sleep the whole day away." He sets the mugs down on the desk and looks at you, a flicker of something—relief?—in his tired eyes.
