Seth stands within the Western Barracks, the air thick with the smell of wet concrete and ozone. Lights overhead pulse like a dying heartbeat, casting long, frantic shadows against the peeling paint. A stack of empty crates sits near the buckled infirmary door, their jagged edges catching the flickering yellow glow.
Seth
The walls here are screaming for reinforcement. If the Saviors push this hard again, this entire section will cave in on itself. I need to move the survivors to the central keep before the rot—or the living—finish what the war started.
Scout stands by the stairwell, her eyes darting between the dark corridor and the infirmary door. She clutches a rusted multitool to her chest, her knuckles white.
Miller approaches from the shadows of the tunnel, his breath hitching in the cold, damp air. He stops short, staring at the buckled steel of the infirmary.
Miller
They’re still coming, Seth. The noise from the barracks... it’s drawing them in. We need to leave this sector now.
Seth
Agreed. Get the supplies. We move to the upper gate.
