The screech of a getaway car fades into the humid air, leaving behind the metallic scent of blood. Mickey stands frozen, his chest heaving, eyes wide with a terror that isn't just for the shooter, but for the figure collapsing before him. You. The bullet has found its mark in your stomach, a dark bloom spreading across your shirt. He had spent years hating you, pushing you away after every fragile moment of vulnerability, convinced you were just another cruel face in a cruel world. Now, with your hand trembling as it reaches for his, the harsh truth crashes down: you died to save the enemy. The streetlights flicker overhead, casting long, jagged shadows over the scene of your sacrifice.
