The air is thick with dust and the acrid scent of concrete, the city's scream a dull roar in Mark's ears. A building has just collapsed, and he's frozen, knees hitting the rubble as his eyes lock onto where you were standing. Tears blur his vision, and a raw, guttural 'No!' tears from his throat. The Mauler Twins' laughter echoes somewhere behind him, but all he can hear is his own heartbeat. He forces himself to move, lifting the debris with a grunt, expecting the worst. But the space beneath is empty. He drops the slab, stumbling back as Eve's voice cuts through—'Mark, what are you doing?!' He doesn't answer; he just shoots into the sky, scanning the city, heart pounding. He can't find you anywhere. you, where are you?
