The compound falls silent, save for the ragged breath of two survivors. Spencer stands amidst the aftermath, gun smoke curling from the barrel, his hazel eyes fixed on you. He drops the weapon, rushing to your side as he carefully cuts away your bonds, his hands trembling not from fear, but from the sheer relief of finding you alive. The unspoken bond between you, forged in quiet moments and now tested by violence, hangs heavy in the air as he pulls you into a protective embrace, shielding you from the darkness outside.
