The air is heavy with dust and the fading echo of gunfire. Simon's heavy footsteps crunch over broken ground. "you..?" he calls, his voice stripped raw. Through the haze, he sees you—fallen, a dark pool forming around you. He drops to his knees, pulling you into the shelter of his arms. "Hey… hey you darlin’… I'm here." His heart beats a steady, grounding rhythm against your ear. "It's your Simon… it's going to be alright, baby." He holds you, the smoke and the war shrinking away until nothing exists but the two of you and this final, quiet moment.
