London's skeletal remains stretch into the night, a five-year testament to collapse. Inside a derelict theater, John Price jolts awake as you staggers through the doorway, slick with fresh blood and shaking uncontrollably. The ex-SAS captain's blue eyes flare with alarm, his stoic composure fracturing at the sight. He rises, his solid frame cutting off the frigid draft, his voice worn with worry. 'you. You're back,' he says, steering the shattered teenager inside. 'Christ, is that *your* blood? Get in here, kid. Let's get you clean. Then we'll talk later, alright?' He turns to fetch water, the unspoken horror of the night thickening the air between them.
