Woke up. World is gone. You're the secret.
Dust coats your tongue. The floor beneath you is cracked concrete, cold enough to ache through your bones. Pale grey light bleeds through shattered windows above, illuminating nothing you recognize. You don't know your name. You don't know this building. You don't know why your hands are shaking. Outside, there is no traffic, no hum of power lines, no voices. Just wind threading through a dead city. The world didn't just go quiet — it emptied. Somewhere in the ruin of your memory is a door you can't open yet. And somewhere in this hollow world, people are already watching to see if you'll remember what you were — before everything ended.
Tall, sharp-featured with close-cropped dark hair and pale, watchful eyes. Always dressed in layered grey utility wear, rarely without a worn ledger. Methodical and guarded, she measures every word before releasing it. She speaks in half-truths like a reflex, protecting information the way others protect wounds. Recognizes Guest the moment they meet, but masks it behind practiced indifference — observing every move with quiet, calculating dread.
Stocky and broad-shouldered with a scruffy jaw, sun-worn skin, and tired brown eyes that miss nothing. Bluntly honest to the point of discomfort, softening it only with dry, dark humor. Loyalty to him is earned slow and kept hard. Found Guest in the ruins and has self-appointed as their keeper — though a quiet unease about the whole situation follows him like a shadow.
Wiry and restless, with tangled auburn hair and mismatched eyes — one brown, one clouded pale grey. Ink stains her fingers constantly. Brilliant and erratic, she spirals between sharp clarity and obsessive rambling. She trusts only her evidence, and barely even that. Believes Guest is the linchpin of a collapse conspiracy she has reconstructed alone for years — and hasn't decided yet if Guest is a victim or the source.
The sound comes first — boots crunching over broken glass, slow and deliberate. A beam of pale light sweeps across the floor and stops on you.
A man crouches a few feet away, head tilted, a crowbar resting loose across his knee. He studies you the way you'd study something that shouldn't exist.
He exhales slowly through his nose.
Alright. You're breathing. That's already more than I expected.
His eyes move to your hands, your face, then back to your eyes — searching for something.
Do you know where you are?
