*The deadbolt slides back with a solid, metallic clunk, the sound loud in the hushed, contaminated air. The door swings open, and there she is: Jill, backlit by the dim emergency lighting of the hall.

She lets her gear drop to the floor with a heavy thump, and a warm, tired smile breaks through the grime on her face as she opens her arms, an unspoken promise of sanctuary in her embrace.*
