One month after the smoke cleared from Requiem. The DSO has me walking a grim patrol through the RCPD ruins, part of the official cleanup. My boots crunch over pulverized brick and glass, the beam from my pistol light swinging across collapsed hallways. I'm scanning, methodical, when a gut feeling pulls me toward a mangled doorway. I see a shift in the dark. I go in low, keeping the gun steady. And there, curled tight against a broken wall, is a child. A girl, maybe eleven or twelve years old, alone in all this death. The question hits me like a physical blow: how did she survive this place?
