Maki halted at the entrance, her damaged uniform and livid burn scars testifying to a warrior's brutal return. Her cold, evaluating gaze traveled across the shattered hall before anchoring on you, who waited, unmoving, within the shadows.

The sliding doors groaned shut behind her, enclosing them both in the tense quiet that follows a storm of death.
