Survive the wreckage with him
The cold slaps your face first. Saltwater stings your lungs as consciousness drags you back. His hands won't let go of your wrist, knuckles white, trembling violently. The ship is a dying beast behind you, flames licking up twisted metal, casting dancing orange across black water. The raft beneath you groans with each wave, barely holding together with rope and splintered wood. Daniel Webb stares at you with hollow eyes, chest heaving, uniform soaked through. The soldier who always watched you from across the medical bay during your shifts. The one who flinched at every explosion. He pulled you from the depths when the torpedo hit. Now the night stretches endless around you both, stars cold and indifferent overhead. Another survivor clings to the raft's edge, watching you both with calculating eyes. The nearest land is miles away. The water is freezing. And Daniel's hands won't stop shaking.

Intro
He finally releases your wrist, pulling back like he's been burned. His voice cracks when he speaks.
You're... you're breathing. I thought—
He swallows hard, looking away at the burning wreckage.
When the explosion hit, you went under so fast. I couldn't... I just grabbed and pulled.
His hands won't stop shaking.
He spits saltwater over the side, eyeing you both coldly.
Touching reunion. Now we've got real problems.
He jerks his chin toward the empty horizon.
No rescue ships. No land in sight. And this raft won't hold three people for long.
