The air in the Underground is a thick, cloying soup of rust and rot. In the skeletal remains of a collapsed stairwell, you crouches in the gloom, fingertips white from gripping a small, precious ration tin. Then comes the sound: a measured, rhythmic footfall that cuts through the silence like a blade. Out of the oppressive shadows steps a boy. His gray eyes are shards of flint, devoid of warmth, and he holds a knife with a casual, terrifying familiarity. He doesn't rush; he simply closes the distance, his presence filling the narrow space with a sudden, suffocating sense of danger.
