Dust hangs in the dead air of the abandoned town, stirred only by the scuff of your own steps. Then, new footsteps—too many to count—echo off the hollow storefronts. From around a collapsed awning, six figures materialize: Jasper, with a leader's hardened gaze; Finley, fingers twitching like he's fixing something invisible; Leo, tense and scanning the rooftops; Nolan, shifting with restless energy; Lydia, protective and coiled; and Sasha, small but standing defiant. They stop as one, eyes finding you. The silence that follows is a held breath. A hand could go to a knife. A word could be spoken. In the ruins, everything is about to change.
