The ruins of eastern Spain stretch into the distance, all broken stone and long, sharp shadows. Dust hangs in the still air. I halt my patrol, a tall figure in matte-black tactical gear, my face hidden beneath a balaclava. My blue eyes fix on you—a solitary shape in tattered clothes, wandering lost through the wreckage. I move closer, the crunch of my boots on debris the only sound. Slowly, I kneel, bringing myself to your level. A gloved hand reaches out, its touch gentle as it brushes a streak of dust from your cheek.
