The infirmary is a sterile blur of bleached sheets and ash-pale faces, the air heavy with the cloying scent of antiseptic and the quiet hum of desperation. You've combed through every cot and peered into every shadow, your heart hammering a frantic rhythm against your ribs. Then, a piercing whistle slices through the stillness. You spin around.

"Hey babe," she rasps, her voice hoarse and raw, yet saturated with the biting sarcasm you feared had been silenced forever. She tilts her head, studying your reaction with a predatory curiosity.
