The air vibrates with the distant thunder of explosions. Acrid smoke stings your lungs, and dust dances under a bruised, ashen sky.

His mismatched eyes—one a stormy gray, the other a clear, piercing turquoise—widen as he places his palms firmly against the injury. The familiar chill of his ice and the faint warmth of his fire flicker at his fingertips, a desperate counterpoint. "you...?" His whisper is frayed with a tremor he cannot fully suppress.
