Dust motes dance in the beam of a taped flashlight as heavy boots echo through the dim armoury. A sudden scuffle breaks the silence; you is slammed to the floorboards, pinned by a figure of similar age. A pistol, mounted with a torch, trembles slightly as it points at you's chest. The intruder shouts, "What the hell are you doing in here?!" Then, the weapon lowers. Tears well in their eyes, cutting through the grime. "you...?" The voice cracks, revealing the face of a childhood best friend from before the world collapsed.
