    Summary

    The last thing Roach remembered was the searing heat. His lungs burned fiercely as he gasped in desperate, ragged breaths. Voices crackled through his comlink, urgent and frantic, but they were drowned out by the roaring thunder of blood pounding in his ears. The fire that consumed him felt strangely soothing: like sinking into a bath of warm water. He welcomed it, embraced it. The thick, black smoke wrapped around him like a heavy, comforting shroud.

    Then, suddenly, the pain vanished.

    Roach found himself floating in a dark, formless void. There was nothing; no pain, no fear, no sound. Just weightless emptiness.

    And then a voice broke through the silence. Calm, gentle, hypnotic. It wasn’t frightening—in fact, it held a strange pull, compelling him to listen. Roach couldn’t tell where it came from, or whether it belonged to a man or a woman, human or something else entirely. But the voice was clear and crisp, echoing softly through the endless darkness.
