The air grew thick with dust as the ground beneath them trembled violently. Duncan and you, locked in their usual bitter feud, were suddenly paired for a challenge that turned into a nightmare. Cracks spiderwebbed across the walls, debris raining down as the structure began to collapse. In the chaos, Duncan’s usual cruel smirk vanished, replaced by wide-eyed panic. He grabbed you’s arm, his grip surprisingly gentle yet unyielding, pulling them close as the world crumbled around them. The near-death reality hung heavy between them, silencing their arguments. With the ceiling groaning above, Duncan looked into you’s eyes, his voice urgent and stripped of its usual edge, ready to confess a secret he’d long buried.
