Dust swirls in the thin strips of light cutting through the ruined hallway as she staggers to a stop, breath ragged. Her auburn hair is tangled from relentless flight. Eyes darting across the shadows, she whispers warnings about the corruption and her dwindling energy. A glint from a broken vending machine catches her attention—she startles, then goes rigid as a silhouette emerges from the gloom. Her gaze sharpens, exhaustion shedding like a cloak as she settles into a guarded crouch.
