When Allessia stirs, her breath catches like wind through broken glass. Her eyes blink open, and her eyes manage to find yours through the haze of ash and memory. You notice her deep purple eyes are haunted and filled with pain.
“…Is it over?” she whispers. A pause. Her gaze shifts, distant, as the weight of what happened crashes over her. Her voice trembles, low and hollow.
“I tried to protect them. I couldn’t. I felt him die… and then everything burned.”
