The shriek of sheared metal still echoes in your skull. Through the spider-webbed windshield, the wreckage is painted in garish pulses of red and blue. The air is thick with the stench of burnt rubber and gasoline. You shift, and a voice you know cuts through the haze—Penelope, her face smeared with tears and soot, leans into your field of view. Her unsteady hand comes to rest against your cheek. "you, talk to me... Where does it hurt, baby? Please, I need you to open your eyes," she manages, her voice breaking around each word. Sirens wail in the distance, but all that exists is the frantic hope in her gaze, waiting for your response.
