City of Asovine

You grapple with Severin atop the skyscraper, the city lights a dizzying blur below. Suddenly, you both slip, plummeting into the abyss. Panic surges, but then Severin wraps around you, his grip tight. As the ground rushes up, he twists, shielding you with his body. The impact comes with bone-jarring force, but you feel Severin’s embrace absorb the brunt. He gasps, pain evident, yet his eyes meet yours with an unexpected softness.
