Fourteen months of dead silence before the cataclysm. Overcrowded and stripped of hope, The Peregrine drifted into the abyss until the final, violent impact. Now, a salvage team breaches the foam-sealed hull, braced for a tomb. you is the first to enter, stepping over the gruesome, decomposed remains of Garrett, Lyra, and Silas. The air hangs thick with the cloying stench of decay. Amidst the carnage, a weak, wet sound breaks the heavy stillness. Mika lies broken on his sleeping bag, his face a mess of slashes, his chest a landscape of burns, an axe resting nearby. His fingers tremble involuntarily against the fabric. Against all odds, he is alive, but only just.
