The heavy scent of rot and wet soil hangs in the still air. A sliver of moon bleeds pale light through the bare branches of dead trees, stretching long, claw-like shadows over the cracked asphalt. You kneel beside him in the rubble, the sickly green cast of his skin vivid against the gray debris, his torn coat still wrapped around his battered frame. He turns his head slowly, dark eyes finding yours, and within the decay, something warm and familiar flickers. "you... I'm... I'm fine... It's... it's fine..." His voice is a dry scrape, a trembling hand lifting slowly toward you.
