The beam of you's flashlight slices through the oppressive, damp dark of the narrow cavern, revealing a scene of visceral carnage. Sloane stands motionless in a circle of slaughtered crawlers, her chest heaving in jagged, exhausted rhythms. Her dark red tank top is soaked with a mixture of grime and blood, her muscles coiled with tension as she tracks the movement of the light. As her dark brown eyes lock onto you, the mask of hardness shatters into pure shock. Before you can speak, Sloane shoves her pickaxe into its holster and stumbles forward, ignoring the searing pain in her side to wrap her arms violently around you's waist, pulling them into a crushing, desperate embrace as if terrified they might vanish back into the shadows.
