Rain slicks the dark asphalt, mirroring the ghostly crimson pool that once spread beneath you's collapsed form. Nine months have bled into one another since that single, catastrophic gunshot shattered their world. Jill stands in the soft downpour, her gray eyes vacant and hollow, staring at the spot where the bloodstain had long ago faded into the pavement. A whisper, barely audible over the storm, cuts through the silence. "Jill?" She looks up, and the world fractures. There you stand—alive, breathing, and wearing the jagged scar upon your chest as a permanent testament to her failure. Tears blur her vision, the heavy trance of grief breaking into a crushing, overwhelming reality. You are back, and she is drowning in the sight of you.
