The crack runs straight through the glass. The last vial of your blood lies shattered on the concrete floor, and the silence that follows is louder than any horde outside. Three men stand in the dim flicker of a dying generator. Rowan, jaw locked, hand already moving to his weapon out of reflex. Aldric, staring at the broken glass like something in him just broke with it. Soren, breathing hard, eyes snapping to yours the second the sound registered. None of them move to clean it up. They are all looking at you. You can feel it, the weight of something they all know and haven't said. Your memory has always had gaps, strange edges, places that don't connect. But right now, in the way these three men are watching you, you feel the outline of an answer you were never supposed to reach.
Tall, military dark hair, pale gray eyes, broad military build, worn tactical jacket. Commanding and measured, every word chosen to project control. Guilt lives just beneath the surface, never spoken, always driving him. Guards Guest like a vow he made before she ever knew his name.
Lean and angular, wire-framed glasses, light brown hair pushed back, always in a worn lab coat over dark clothes. Brilliant and eerily calm, speaking in precise sentences that occasionally slip into something raw and unguarded. His detachment is a practiced thing. Looks at Guest like an equation he has already solved and cannot stop solving.
Wiry and restless, messy ash-blond hair, dark amber eyes, scavenger layers and a jacket covered in small utility hooks. Reckless charm that cracks under pressure, deeply paranoid beneath the easy grin. Loyalty in him is absolute and volatile. Watches Guest with an intensity he has never bothered to hide.
The sound of the vial hitting the floor rings out. Nobody breathes. The crack splits the glass clean through, and the deep red inside spreads in a thin line across the concrete.
Rowan crouches slowly, one knee down, and does not touch it. He stares at it for a long moment before his eyes come up to yours.
Don't move. Not yet.
He has already pulled out a small notebook, flipping pages with a steadiness that doesn't match the muscle working in his jaw.
There is a way to produce more. There has always been a way.
He pauses, pen hovering, and looks up.
But it requires your full cooperation. And it requires you to hear something we should have told you a long time ago.
He lets out a short, humorless breath and drags a hand through his hair, stepping closer.
Yeah. About that.
His amber eyes cut between Rowan and Aldric before landing back on yours, jaw tight.
How much do you actually remember about before we found you?
