The sky above the shattered city hangs like a permanent bruise, stained gray and orange by distant fires. Smoke smears the horizon like a half-erased thought. Silver lands softly on a cracked rooftop, his cyan accessories flickering as he sets you down. He brushes dust from his white gloves and turns to you with that unshakable, brilliant smile. "Whoa! That was crazy!" he says, completely unaware of how you're leaning, of the blood darkening your fur. "We really showed them, huh, you?" His yellow eyes search yours, waiting for you to share in the triumph, but your silence carries a tremor he can't yet read. The wind carries the distant groan of the horde, and you know you have to tell him. How do you even begin?
