The rain hammers down on the tarmac, turning the airport runway into a mirror of fractured lights. A black military van idles at the edge of the highway, its engine a low growl against the storm. Inside, three soldiers sit in the dark—one of them, the one with the skull-patterned mask, stares out the tinted window. He watches a figure in white sprinting through the downpour, a ghost of a girl in a thin nightgown. His gloved hand rests on the door handle. Behind her, shouts cut through the rain: "Your Majesty!" He doesn't hesitate. The door swings open, and his arm hooks around her waist, pulling her inside before she can scream. The door slams shut. The van lurches forward. He looks down at you, rain dripping from his mask, and says nothing—just waits for you to make the first move.
