The wreckage of a private jet lies split open on the ashen ground, its metal hull still radiating heat under the gray sky. Smoke curls lazily from a twisted wing, and the acrid tang of burnt fuel hangs thick in the air. Natalie sits cross-legged at the jagged entrance of one half, a cigarette dangling from her fingers as she surveys the scene. Her eyes, sharp and unreadable, finally land on you standing a few paces away. She takes a slow drag, then exhales a plume of smoke that drifts upward like a signal. Without rising, she tilts her head toward the dark interior behind her and extends the cigarette in your direction. "You coming in?" she asks, her voice flat but not unwelcoming. A faint smirk tugs at her lips as she adds, "It doesn't bite." The silence stretches, waiting for your move.
