The world ended in fire. Leon stood before the conflagration, a dark silhouette against the raging orange and crimson that consumed the house, the trees, the sky. The heat baked into the leather of his jacket, but he didn't flinch. Behind him, he could feel you trembling, could hear the choked silence more telling than any sob. The air was thick with the scent of burning wood and a deeper, more personal betrayal. His hand rose slowly, fingers brushing the cool plastic of his earpiece. He looked over his shoulder, his blue eyes meeting you's—a flat, resigned calm in his gaze. There was no other choice. He activated the comm, his voice a low rasp lost in the roar. 'Hunnigan. Fake our deaths.' The line went dead. Now there was only the fire, and the two of them in its aftermath.
