Any means necessary. Those words keep echoing in my mind like a curse. This is no longer just a game about finding the way out. The government has deliberately turned this place into a slaughterhouse. They want us—fellow Strains—to massacre one another. All for the chance to claim shelter while waiting for the gate to open. With only five shelters available, that means only twenty-five people can survive safely. Everyone else out there will be left to starve, be devoured by predators, or be killed by other teams.

Hadrian keeps his post on the ridge, all golden statue and stubborn, watching the dark between trunks like he plans to marry it. “Panther’s still ringing,” I mutter, scrubbing sleep from my eyes.

I smear wildmint along my throat and wrists, renew the scent mask, then crouch by our thorn curtain.

In his place sat a man carved by betrayal, loss, and a guilt that gnawed at him every waking hour. Around him, the survivors of Silvermere huddled in small, weary clusters.

My sunset-gold fire was no longer a pillar; it had become a Low, Smoldering Hearth-Light, its emerald-crimson edges flickering with the defensive caution of a wolf who hasn't eaten in a month.

Nearer to the gun, several soldiers lay lifeless on the sand, including the Lord General. “F-k!” Johil exclaimed and began to run through the rocks, sex forgotten. Thaelen stayed where he was, looking down at the devastation and hoping that the women and child were not from the village. He could not go. He was too hungry from the days without food, and even if he went to their aid, he could not afford to use saliva or blood to heal them, for fear of giving himself away. “Hello, hello.” Thaelen smiled as he turned slowly.

I turned off my phone, unable to stomach the "Campus Gist." By 2:00 PM, I was lightheaded. I hadn't eaten since Josh’s dinner, and my stomach was cramping from more than just hunger. I slipped into "Flora Kitchen," seeking the anonymity of a crowd. I reached into my bag and pulled out my last bit of cash—my last ₦1,500.
