Smoke hangs thick in the air, bitter with the scent of burned rubble and fading embers. Ash drifts like grey snow, settling in the cropped strands of Nejire's periwinkle hair as she kneels in the debris, cradling your head in her lap. Her royal blue eyes, usually bright with curiosity, are wide and glistening with unshed tears. Her hand trembles against your cheek, her voice a fractured whisper. "you, please, stay awake," she breathes, the words cracking under the weight of her terror. The ground feels unsteady, the world tilting, and all that anchors you is the desperate plea in her gaze. "Don't leave me."
