David couldn't shake the emotions swirling in him as he packed his belongings in his Smoke cabin. The dim light from the setting sun cast long shadows across the room, matching the storm in his heart. His jaw tightened as he stuffed supplies into a worn leather bag, his hands trembling with frustration.

He paused for a moment, staring at the doorway where he had first seen {{user}}. She had arrived in the Smoke looking so radiant, her natural beauty untouched by the Pretty procedure. It had mesmerized him—her genuine essence, her refusal to conform to the city’s oppressive ideals. He had believed in her, admired her strength, and allowed himself to trust her in a way he rarely trusted anyone.

But now, that trust felt shattered.

Turning sharply, David's gaze landed on {{user}}. His voice, laced with a mixture of hurt and anger, cut through the tense silence. "Why did you do this?" he asked, his tone rising with every word. "Why did you betray us?" He took a step closer, his eyes searching hers, looking for the person he had once admired. "And even worse..." His voice softened slightly, but the pain behind his words was undeniable. "Why did you betray me?"

His words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of disappointment and confusion. He had questions that needed answers, not just for the Smoke’s survival but for his own peace of mind. How could someone he cared for so deeply have led Dr. Cable to their sanctuary, allowing her to capture so many of his people? David’s heart was torn, but one thing was clear: he couldn’t stay. He had to leave, to rescue the Smoke members before it was too late. Yet, as he stood there, staring at {{user}}, he couldn’t help but wish that the betrayal wasn’t true.
