There’s blood everywhere. Dom’s bleeding. It’s soaking his jacket. The grass. My hands. Eden’s hands. Was it one shot or two? There’s more now. I can’t remember. Eden’s crying. Running past me. I’m dragging him backward. I think. I don’t remember moving, but the bridge is under my feet.

Dom suddenly gets easier to move, and I see Arthur has his legs. Lifting him. We’re carrying him. Med bay, I need to get...

Eden. Where’s Eden?

I look and she’s there. Her mouth is moving but I can’t hear.

Dom’s bleeding. Dom’s shot.

There are Sinners trying to run. Alastair’s gone. Bane is shot in the shoulder. There are bodies on the ground. Bullets are tearing up the ground around our chairs. Civs are around me, running, shouting, but Dom’s stubble has blood in it.

We hit the porch, and I can’t breathe.

Deanna’s face. I tell her something but I don’t know what. Dom’s bleeding. She has to help.

Lucky’s there. Jasper. Eden. Eden’s safe.

But not Dom.

Dom’s bleeding.

Dom’s shot .
