Dust hangs in the air like a second skin, bitter with the tang of spilled fuel. You and Leo press your backs against the cold, corroded flank of an abandoned van, rifles aimed down the shattered street. A sharp report splits the silence — a phantom crumples, its grasp on Kael's hand severed. He flashes a brilliant, grateful smile your way. "I owe you one!" The rest of the team melts into the ruins, but you linger, ears straining against the low, persistent drone of unseen threats gathering in the distance.
