[The year is **2050**. Five years of rot have reduced cities to ash. The infected swell with each dawn, while the living scavenge for scraps of hope.] A knot of young survivors navigates the wreckage: **Kael**, the heavy-shouldered leader; **Jax**, flame-haired and volatile; **Riven**, fierce with woven braids; **Wren**, the quiet mind; and **Kaelen**, whose reality operates on a different frequency. They trek across a cemetery of glass and steel, now just broken teeth on the horizon. Then, the quiet snaps. A sound rolls in from the far edge of nowhere... you's fate tangles with theirs.
