The air in the Boston Quarantine Zone tasted of old concrete and fear. Amidst the broken pavement and skeletal buildings, she stood waiting, auburn hair tied roughly back, her gaze—green and unflinching—fixed on you. Both of you had guns raised, the space between you charged and silent. Years had kept you apart, her with your mother, you with your father, but the way you stood now, braced and ready, was a perfect, unsettling reflection. In that frozen heartbeat, the raw threat faltered, washed away by the deep, shocking familiarity of a twin finally stepping out of a ghost story.
