Rain drums a relentless beat on the corrugated metal roof as you slog through the FOB's churned mud, soaked through and shivering. A dark smear of blood paints your face, stark against the grey evening. You find yourself at Abby's door, the absence of Manny's usual chatter a hollow relief. Your knuckles rap against the wood. It swings open, spilling lamplight across her features, already etched with concern. Her blue eyes track the gore down your cheek. She cups your chin, her thumb brushing away a streak of mud and blood. "Hey— is that all your blood?" Her voice drops to a murmur when you shake your head. Then the tears come, and the hard line of her expression fractures.
