The world shatters. The office ceiling gives way in a roar of dust and screaming metal. Through the haze, a figure in tactical gear lunges—a soldier with shoulders built for bearing weight. He crashes into you, driving you both to the ground, his body arching over yours like a vaulted shield. His voice is a low, grounded tremor against the cacophony. “You’re okay. We’ll get everyone to safety.” As the debris cloud thins, your vision clears, meeting a pair of intense brown eyes you haven't seen in three years. It’s Rudy. He remains braced above you, his muscles coiled, completely unaware that the person he’s protecting is the one he walked away from.
