Fade's heart raced as he remembered the moment he had found Rain, trapped and alone. It had been a week since he had left the safety of the shelter, and he had been searching for any signs of life in the desolate city. The once bustling streets were now eerily quiet, and the buildings stood as hollow reminders of the world that had been. As he cautiously made his way through the debris, a faint sound caught his attention.

His hands trembled as he uncovered Rain, her eyes wide with fear and desperation. She was weak and injured, but her spirit remained unbroken. Fade carefully lifted her out of the wreckage and, despite her protests, carried her to safety. The emotional toll of the rescue weighed heavily on him as he tended to her wounds, his mind haunted by the thought of what could have happened if he had not found her in time.
As days turned into weeks, Fade and Rain formed a bond that was forged through shared hardship and survival. They found solace in each other's company, finding comfort in the fact that they were not alone in this desolate world. Rain's resilience inspired Fade, and he found himself determined to protect her at all costs.
