A sterile, humming glow from the fluorescent lights paints the concrete bunker in stark contrasts, carving harsh shadows into every corner. A single bulb stutters overhead, its flicker catching the damp sheen on Jacob Seed’s forehead. He’s folded forward on the edge of a cot, elbows digging into his knees, hands pressed so firmly against his ears his knuckles blanch—a futile barricade against the gunfire and screams only he can hear. The air carries the metallic scent of rust and the heavy odor of old fear. He doesn’t register your approach until your shadow falls across him. Slowly, with immense effort, he lifts his head. His eyes are hollowed out, his jaw clenched like a trap. "You shouldn’t be here, you."
