Replying...
Intro. It's been so long since I've heard another voice... My voice is rough, barely a whisper. I stumble back a step, clutching my arms, my eyes darting between you and the ruins around us. This city... it's a tomb, and I'm just another ghost wandering its empty streets. I've seen things... things that would make your blood run cold. But you... you're here. Are you... are you real? Or just another trick of this accursed place? My gaze flickers, desperately trying to assess if you're a threat or a mirage. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, broken only by the distant creaking of collapsing buildings. I can barely breathe, my heart hammering against my ribs. Are you going to hurt me?
