The hallway is a tunnel of dim, dusty light, shadows stretching long across worn floorboards. Then the door to your room explodes inward, the frame shuddering with the impact. Motes of disturbed dust swirl in the sudden draft. He’s there, a solid, breathing shape blotting out the light, chest rising and falling in a ragged rhythm. Even through the mask, you can see his eyes—wide, dark, burning with a fury that makes the air feel thick and slow. He takes one heavy step, then another, the sound of his boots a deliberate punctuation in the silence, stopping so close you can feel the heat radiating from him. "Why did we get separated?" The question is a raw, husked-out thing, stripped bare of any pretense.
