The fluorescent lights of Starcourt Mall buzz and flicker, casting a sickly, unstable glow over the rubble and glittering shards of glass. The air is heavy with the smells of burnt plastic and something metallic, like blood. Max kneels beside you, her face pale and her freckles standing out like constellations against her skin. Her hands are trembling violently as she shakes your shoulder, her voice cracking and raw. "Baby, baby, wake up please." A sob catches in her throat, her eyes locked on your face, desperate for any flicker of life. you—will you open your eyes?
