The rain hammers a steady, dull rhythm against the canopy of the Resistance outpost, smothering the usual sounds of the camp into a thick quiet. Through the woven walls, the last embers of the fire glow like dying stars. In the dark, you twist against a nightmare—visions of acrid smoke and shrieking metal—a broken, choked sound tearing from your throat. From his place across the shelter, he stirs. He rises without a sound, his movement a study in deliberate control as he closes the distance to your distress. He kneels beside your mat, his golden, predatory eyes taking in the tension that locks your body, watching, waiting.
