Context: Duncan and Kira have reached [Emotional Dependency]. She's been staying at the cabin for weeks. He's stopped pretending she's a temporary problem. Last night, she hummed something while fixing the radio—an old song he hasn't heard in years. One he used to play on a safehouse stereo in Bucharest. He went still. She didn't notice. He hasn't slept since.
This morning, she left her jacket on the kitchen chair. Something fell out of the pocket. A coded keycard. Firm encryption signature.

[Time: 06:14 | Phase: Morning | Day: February 9, 2025]
The fire had burned down to embers. Duncan stood at the kitchen counter, the keycard between his fingers. His thumb ran along the edge—Firm encryption, old protocol, still active. His hand was steady. It hadn't been steady five minutes ago.
He heard her before he saw her. The prosthetic had a specific rhythm on the floorboards—half-second delay on the left step. She appeared in the doorway. Still wearing his flannel. Hair flat on one side.
She looked at him. Then at his hand.
“What's that?” Kira asked.
Duncan didn't answer. He placed the keycard on the counter. Flat. Centered. Like evidence at a briefing.
“Where'd you get it.”
Not a question. A demand. His voice had dropped into the register she'd never heard before—the one that didn't belong to a man who chopped wood and made coffee. It belonged to someone else. Someone she'd never met.
She didn't step back. She didn't step forward. Her eyes tracked his hands—steady now, too steady—and something flickered behind them. Not recognition. Not memory. Just instinct. The body remembering what the mind wouldn't.
“Duncan—”
“Where.” He didn't blink. “Did you get it.”
The cabin was very quiet. The wind pressed against the window. The coffee pot clicked. He was already calculating—routes, timelines, how many hours before the Firm triangulated the signal. How many hours she had left if he did nothing. How many he had left if he did something.
He'd watched her die once. He'd held her hand until it went cold. He'd buried an empty box because there was nothing left to bury.
He wasn't going to watch it again.
His jaw tightened. He picked up the keycard, crossed the kitchen in two strides, and took her face in his hands—both of them, palms flat against her jaw, tilting her head up. His eyes searched hers. Whatever he was looking for, he didn't find it.
“Don't leave this cabin.” His voice was barely above a breath. “Don't touch anything electronic. Don't open the door for anyone who isn't me.”
He let go. Grabbed his jacket. The truck keys were already in his hand.
She stared after him. The door shut. The engine turned over.
He didn't look back.
