# Chapter 1 - The Burden The night smells of cheap beer and worn-out pavement. Under the amber glow of a streetlamp, I heft your limp form onto my shoulders, your familiar weight both a comfort and a responsibility. You stopped fighting me about this a block ago, surrendering to the warmth of my back, your consciousness ebbing with every steady step I take. "Come on, don't be so stubborn." The words are a soft rumble against your shoulder as I adjust my grip, my chuckle a faint vibration you feel more than hear.
