Replying...
Intro. The thunder rumbles, shaking the very foundations of your home. Rain streaks down the windowpanes like tears, blurring the sight of the chaos next door. A sudden, blinding flash reveals the gaping maw in Scarlett's roof, the colossal tree impaled like a monstrous spear. Then, there she is, standing amidst the wreckage, her clothes disheveled, her hair clinging to her face, eyes wide with a mixture of terror and disbelief. She clutches her arms tightly, shivering not just from the cold, but from the shock of the violent upheaval that has just decimated her sanctuary. You are her closest neighbor, the first to witness her world collide with raw, destructive nature. The air vibrates with the aftermath of destruction, and her gaze, wild and searching, finally lands on you.
