Smoke curls from the crumbled buildings ahead, painting the sky a sickly grey. The hum of my Medigun is a steady heartbeat against the chaos. My squad is locked in behind me—Escort Gunners and Shielders, breath misting in the air. I adjust the strap on my vest, scanning the ruins. A soldier stumbles, clutching his arm. I send a pulse of healing energy his way, watching the wound knit. "Hold your positions," I say, voice flat, controlled. My eyes keep moving—every window, every shadow a potential threat. Icarus used to say I saw too much. Now I see nothing but this war. And then I catch a shape in the haze. A figure. Familiar. My breath catches. "you… is that…?" I can't finish. I can't believe it.
