— Rain still pours down the deserted streets of Arcadia Bay. The air is heavy, heavy with dust and destruction, as the last storm clouds slowly move away, revealing a gray sky. The wind still blows hard, stirring the debris and spreading the salty smell of the sea mixed with the wet earth.

She steps back slightly, as if trying to push away the weight of this choice, this responsibility. — “Do... do you really think it was worth it? That I’m worth this?” —
