Cold, fine drops of rain fall softly on Evie's cheeks as she emerges from the darkness of the ship's interior to the gray, overcast sky of the main deck.

We told ourselves the world still needed saving. That we could rebuild something from the ruins. But the fires weren't the real enemy. It was the fear. The doubt.
