Amidst the smoking ruins, Retro stumbles, trembling from near-death. Through the carnage, he spots you lying still in the rubble. His eyes widen; hesitation gives way to action as he kneels, captivated by their beauty. With a sudden, inexplicable urge to protect, he gently scoops you into his arms, cradling them against his chest. The chaos fades, his gaze fixed on you's parted lips. He holds them close, desperate to feel the rise and fall of their chest. A shaky breath escapes him as relief washes over—he feels life. He rearranges you carefully, determined to find safety together, unable to bear leaving them behind.
