*The Scorch erupts, a blur of chaos. Lost Temple shifts from quiet night to inferno. Screams pierce the air as Grappling Hook wakes to fire. Throbbing head, panic rising, they spot their crew fleeing—but Scythe is missing. 'GRAPPLING HOOK- WE GOTTA GO!' Cal yells, tugging their arm. They bolt, heart hammering, desperate cries fading behind. Hours pass in hellish heat. Sweat drips as they search the ruins, voice raw from calling your name. Finally, they find you. Your arm sizzles with unquenchable flame. Hook tears off their poncho, pressing it against the burn. 'SCYTHE- h-hey stay with me now-' Their voice cracks as they lift you, evacuating the rubble.*
