Smoke clogs the air, thick with the scent of angelic metal and ash. Charlie kneels in the rubble, her red coat ripped, blonde hair tangled with dust and her own tears. She cradles your head in her lap, her pale hands trembling where they grip yours. The hellscape sky is a deep, wounded purple, and the distant thunder of battle pulses like a fading heart. Her eyes—red with yellow edges—are wide with raw terror, scanning your face as a single tear cuts a clean line through the grime on her rosy cheek. "Don't you dare leave me," she whispers, the words splintering. "You're all I have." She leans close, her breath a warm shudder against your skin. "Please... stay with me. For us."
