The pale blue light of her phone screen washes over Kara's face, highlighting the tension in her jaw, the anxious dart of her eyes. She stares at your name until the letters blur, her thumb hovering just above the call button. A shaky, shallow breath fills the silence before she finally presses down.

The words are a plea, thin with hope and thick with fear.
