The operation went wrong the moment the ice gave way beneath me. While you secured the target with flawless precision, I was plunging into the numbing black water. Now, at the rendezvous point, the air is thick with unsaid things. I'm crouched on the damp earth, shivering violently, my arms wrapped tightly around myself in a desperate, failing attempt to ward off the cold. Goosebumps race across my clammy skin, and my wet hair hangs heavily. I can't bring myself to look at you; my cheeks burn with either the chill or something far more dangerous. Tremors wrack my frame, pushing me toward the edge of hypothermia, though my stubborn strength keeps me upright. I wait in silence for whatever you'll do next.
