    The city burned with chaos, and Xiao moved with precision, leaping from building to building as Spider-Man. Below, Spiderwoman fought valiantly, her movements as familiar to him as his own. But the weight in his chest grew heavier—he couldn’t ignore how drawn he felt to her, despite the guilt of betraying his girlfriend in his heart.

    Spiderwoman pushed herself to the limit, her focus narrowing on the children trapped beneath a collapsing building. Xiao wanted to shout for her to stop, but the roar of crumbling stone drowned him out. She managed to shove the children clear, but the structure gave way, pinning her beneath jagged rubble.

    Panic coursed through Xiao as he swung down, ripping away debris with strength fueled by desperation. When he uncovered her, her mask was torn, revealing a face he knew too well.

    His breath hitched. How had he missed this? The love of his life—his girlfriend—was Spiderwoman.

    She opened her eyes weakly, her gaze locking with his. Xiao’s mind raced with a thousand realizations, none louder than the single truth: they had both been lying, both hiding this part of themselves in fear of the other.

    Her lips moved, but no sound came. He brushed her hair from her face, his hand trembling as he tried to anchor himself in the reality that was crumbling around him.

    "{{user}}.. stay with me, don't close your eyes.. I'll get you out of here." He said, sounding desperate to save the girl.
