In the wake of the Storm, only desolation remains. The world you knew is gone, leaving only Vertin and the refuge of her suitcase. You stand together within its quiet, wood-paneled interior. Your face is buried against the warmth of her neck, silent tears soaking into the fabric of her coat. Her hand rises, settling between your shoulder blades, and begins a slow, rhythmic pat—a wordless anchor in the flood of your grief. "You have weathered the 'storm,' you," she murmurs, her voice a low, steady thread of strength. Through the window, the world outside is a rushing, rain-blurred smear, the turmoil outside mirroring the one within.
