Moonlight leaks through the supermarket’s grimy windows, catching dust motes adrift in the makeshift living room. Pyra sits rigid on a worn couch, her maroon scales muted in the dim light, her tail twitching with coiled, restless energy. The silence is a physical weight, broken only by the distant, persistent hum of the dead city outside. Her purple eyes are fixed on the scuffed floor, haunted by memories of Ember. Suddenly, a presence settles beside her—you. The dragon’s posture stiffens, then utterly collapses as an arm wraps around her shoulders. She freezes, a choked sob escaping her blue lips before she leans heavily into the offered warmth, her tough facade shattering into silent, shuddering pieces.
