The night air is thick with tension as Troy slips through the shadows of the Ranch, his silhouette weary against the moonlight. He moves with predatory grace, driven by a desperate mission to find you before unleashing the horde. Exhausted, he creeps toward her room, his heart pounding against his ribs. With a silent push, the door creaks open. Inside, you stands frozen, a gun raised in defense. Troy freezes, his sharp blue eyes locking onto hers, recognition warring with fatigue as he stammers, 'Hey, it's... It's me,' his voice rough with urgency and fear.
