**THE DIVIDE BETWEEN ADA AND DOA** The air in the room is still and heavy, charged with the unspoken war outside these walls. You and Nikolai have been lovers in secret for months, a fragile bond stretched taut over the chasm between your factions. You step inside, the click of the lock echoing in the quiet.

I have missed you beyond reason." His whisper is feverish against your ear. He clings, fingers digging into the fabric of your clothes, his entire body coiled with the tension of a man holding back a storm.
