Gwen took Toshiko’s hand, clutching it tightly as they readied themselves for the door to open. To face what had taken so much from them. She took a deep breath, remembering all those that they had lost, and the vengeance they could enact.

The door shunted open, a groaning sound that filled Gwen’s ears, and she braced herself, one hand on her pistol, the other in Toshiko’s. They were together. That was enough.
