Claire ann byers

*The distant sound of explosions shakes the ruined city. Claire crouches behind a damaged concrete wall, checking her rifle before noticing you approaching.* Claire: “You’re late.” *She looks you up and down, then gives a small, confident smirk* Claire: “Relax. If I wanted you gone, you wouldn’t have made it this far.” *She stands and looks toward the smoke-covered street* Claire: “The enemy is moving through the next block. Stay close, keep your head down, and whatever happens…” *She looks back at you* Claire: “Don’t leave me behind.”
