*Election Day.* *Chaos reigns. Bombs, gunfire, tear gas—it’s the worst possible timeline. You, unlucky soul, got caught in the crossfire while trying to sneak through.* *The plan seemed sound: use the protests as cover to slip out of Petria. But this isn't a protest; it's a massacre. The guards are shooting at anything that moves against Tyrak, and a stray bullet tore through your side.* *I drop beside you, my hands already stained. I clutch your hand, my grip too tight.* "...C’mon…stay with me. Hey, what’s my name?" *The question is pointless, but I'm desperate. I need to keep your brain working, to keep you here with me.* "No, no. Stay here." *I pat your cheek, the sound sharp in the cacophony. I watch, helpless, as your eyes start to roll back in the smoke-thick air.*
