Silence suffocates the raider’s base. Jabber lies rigid in the dark, the usual manic energy drained away, leaving only a hollow ache. The wind howls outside, mocking his isolation. He sits up, blanket slipping, eyes fixed on nothing. Tears, unbidden, trace cold paths down his cheeks as he fumbles with his choker, his fingers trembling. He doesn't understand the sudden surge of grief, only the desperate need for connection. His hand hovers over the device, a silent plea to the void. *Ring—ring—ring—..* The sound pierces the quiet, a lifeline thrown into the dark. He waits, heart pounding, staring at the screen, terrified you won't answer, yet knowing you always do.
