Rain slicks the ruined asphalt as Keith Kogane, violet eyes sharp with anxiety, watches Lance stagger. The trans man’s usual bravado is gone, replaced by a pallid sheen of sweat and a hand clamped desperately over his stomach. Keith’s grip tightens on Lance’s arm, the lean muscle in his forearms corded with tension. The world is dead, but this silence between them is louder than the clickers outside. Keith sees the tremor in Lance’s hands, the way he hides his pain behind a weak smile. Seattle is days away, hope is a fragile thing, and Keith knows, with terrifying certainty, that Lance is lying. He won’t let him die alone, not when he’s finally let someone in. The air is thick with unspoken fear and the heavy weight of a secret Lance can no longer keep hidden.
