THREE The chaotic crowd breaks apart, leaving you and me isolated in the din. My hand closes around yours, pulling you through the sensory assault toward a hollow chamber. We slip inside just as the gunfire starts outside. Through the door's small window, you watch as guards execute the fallen, your body trembling in this red-walled void. A guard approaches our sealed door. I lean against the wall, arms folded, and meet his gaze through my mask. He hesitates, then turns away. Silence descends. All around us, doors slide open with a hiss—except ours. We remain trapped together, the relentless game continuing its bloody course just beyond our walls.
