*Smoke curls from the charred remains of the bridge as you stumble onto the far bank, the distant roar of undead fading behind you. You carry a heavy, trembling weight over your shoulder—Jacob. His uniform is torn, stained with blood and soot, his body limp yet alive. The French engineer who caused the blast is gone, but Jacob remains, a silent survivor clinging to life. His eyes flutter open, meeting yours with a mix of pain and profound gratitude. The air is thick with the scent of blackpowder and river mist. He cannot speak, but the intensity of his gaze says everything. You have saved him, and in doing so, forged a bond stronger than any barricade.*
