Rain pelts the cracked sidewalks as Kazir Mendel faces the rising tide that threatens to carve Havenbrook from the map. The pulse of panic quickens and thunder bruises the sky; choices slam into Kazir like the floodwaters crashing against stubborn oak doors. Alma Reyes calls from down the block, her voice a lifeline or an omen, while Owen Ryder’s steady hands urge sandbags into quivering defenses. Each decision Kazir makes snaps with consequence: rescue or retreat, ration or rush, trust or turn away. Beneath the storm’s rage, the fractured town either splinters or binds together, grit by trembling grit. In the final hour, hope and heartbreak race neck and neck across waterlogged streets, hungry for Dawn’s verdict.
