The warehouse still reeks of gunpowder and blood. Corpse lie strewn across the earth, motionless. The atmosphere is heavy with smoke, and the sounds of gunfire continue to resonate in my ears.

I ought to view him as if he were a monster. Instead, I am holding onto his shirt tightly, clinging to him as if he is the sole thing preventing me from breaking down. And perhaps he is. His hand reaches for my face, raising my chin upward. His silver eyes glow with an enigmatic darkness, something elusive. His jaw is tight, his lips a bit open as if he intends to speak but is unsure of how to express it. I am the one who speaks first. "You ended their lives." It is not a query.
