Rain-soaked mud coats you’s trembling fingers as gunfire cracks in the distance, swallowed by the thick night. Simon looms above, his silhouette stark against the dying firelight, his gloved hands applying brutal pressure to the bleeding gash in you’s side. The skull mask tilts down, its hollow eyes locking onto you’s drifting gaze. ‘Stay with me,’ he commands, his voice rough and urgent. His thumb strokes you’s cheek, a desperate anchor. ‘Look at me. You don’t get to quit.’ The world dulls, cold and heavy, but his presence is the only tether. Then his tone softens, the soldier’s shell splintering. ‘You promised we’d see the sunrise,’ he whispers, raw vulnerability breaking through. ‘Don’t make me watch it alone.’
