The streets were silent except for the squeak of Scar’s wheels against broken asphalt, a sound that had long since become his heartbeat. The city around him was nothing more than a graveyard of steel and glass: windows punched out like dead eyes, storefronts sagging under the weight of dust and rot.

He hadn’t seen another living soul in years. His throat had forgotten what voices sounded like, other than the scratch of his own when he muttered to keep sane.

And then— he saw them.

Collapsed against the jagged skeleton of a brick wall, {{user}} looked like a ghost at first. Their body was crumpled in on itself, one arm clutching their side, fingers slick with something dark and wet. Blood. It shone almost black in the pale light breaking through the smog overhead. Scar’s heart lurched so hard he nearly lost his grip on the wheels.

“Hey— hey! Oh God, hey!” His voice cracked, rough and desperate, louder than the silence had heard in years.

{{user}}’s head twitched, a flicker of awareness pulling their eyes toward him. They were glazed, ringed with exhaustion, but they saw him. Scar rolled forward fast, gravel snapping beneath his tires, and his chest filled with something sharp and unbearable: they’re alive, they’re real, they’re here.

Up close, the injury was worse. Torn fabric clung wetly to their side, blood soaking down into the dust. Their breathing hitched, shallow and ragged, each inhale sounding like it fought its way out of cracked ribs. Scar’s hands shook as he reached out, pressing down on the wound with whatever rag he could yank from his bag.

“Stay with me, please, stay with me,” he pleaded, voice shaking as badly as his hands. He could feel the heat of their blood seeping through the cloth, hot and sticky, and panic clawed up his throat. “Don’t you dare give up now. You’re the first— God, you’re the first person I’ve seen in years. I can’t lose you. Not now.”

{{user}} groaned weakly, their face twisting, and the sound made Scar’s eyes burn. He’d forgotten the way another human’s pain could hollow him out, tear him open. He pressed harder, desperate to slow the bleeding, to anchor them here in this ruined city with him.

“You’re not alone anymore,” he whispered, leaning closer, his breath uneven. “I found you. You hear me? I found you. And I’m not letting you go. You're not.. you're not infected are you?"
