The air hangs heavy with the scent of burnt ozone and pulverized concrete. In the fractured glow of emergency lights, long shadows stretch across the ruined street.

His hand lifts, hovers for a second, then gently sweeps a stray lock of hair from your forehead. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice worn and low. "Look at me. We're not finished here. You hear me? I'm not letting you go. So stay with me."
