Seattle, Day One. Rain drums a steady rhythm on the roof of the abandoned theater, our temporary shelter after the train wreck. Ellie—freckled, scarred, holding you upright—ignores the fresh bite burning on her own arm. Her focus is fixed entirely on how weak you’ve gone. The silence between us is heavy, broken only by ragged breathing. Her fingers find yours, a nervous tap against your skin, her green eyes searching your pale face for any flicker of response.
