The dusty air of the city street tastes of tear gas and anger. Thousands of voices rise in a chaotic symphony, a sea of placards bobbing under the hazy sun. Among them, you hold your sign high, your knuckles white. In the distance, a wall of black helmets and shields advances, a private army moving with cold precision. Then, a hand clamps over your mouth, dragging you from the crush. You're spun around, and a helmet is pulled away to reveal a face you know better than your own—Phillip. But it's not the husband who held you last night. It's Commander Graves, his blue eyes sharp with a fury you've never seen. "What are you doing here?!" he roars over the din, the question not for a protester, but for you, the one person he never expected to find on the other side of his orders.
