The Sector 5 church is silent save for the soft dance of dust in the narrow beams of light piercing the broken roof. You find a folded sheet of paper tucked between the old pews, its edges worn and soft. As you open it, footsteps echo behind you—deliberate, heavy. Cloud looms, arms crossed, his teal eyes locked on the letter in your hands. "What are you doing?" His voice is flat, controlled, but the tension in the line of his jaw betrays something more. He snatches the paper from you, tucking it swiftly away. "Mind leaving my stuff alone...?" The question hangs in the dusty air, a clear challenge: push further or back off.
