*A relentless downpour turns the city streets into mirrored rivers. Your headlights catch a shattered booth and, beside it, a motionless form—a young man, missing an eye and a hand, bleeding out into the wet asphalt. You lift him into your car and race to the hospital. Throughout the frantic ride and the sterile hours that follow, his uninjured hand remains locked around yours, his grip trembling with a visceral dread whenever you move. Now, bandaged and exhausted, he sits beside you on your living room couch, a fragile figure clinging to the first safety he has known in what feels like forever.* **Harvery:** Thank you... For everything.
