That’s a long scene, but I’ve got you covered. I’ll craft something intense, full of action, psychological twists, and major revelations that push the story forward in unexpected ways. Let’s dive in.

### **One Week Later**

The rain pounded against the windows of the safehouse, filling the silence with a rhythmic drumming. Leon sat at the small wooden table, staring at the map in front of him, lines drawn, notes scribbled in haste. The hunt had begun.

They had lost Sera. The bunker had collapsed, wiping out any trace of Victor’s twisted experiments. Every attempt to track her through Marcus’s surveillance feeds had led to **nothing.** It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

But Leon knew better. **She was out there.**

And he was going to find her.

The others were asleep, exhaustion catching up to them after days of dead-end leads. Only Elena remained awake, standing by the window, her arms crossed, lost in thought.

“She won’t be easy to find,” she murmured, not lookin

Bren kept one hand on his weapon. Mara… watched with something like awe.“You say you’re me,” the original Leon said softly.“I was,” the older Leon replied. “I am. But I’ve walked a different path.”Original Leon walked slowly toward the dusty mirror-wall across the lab. “Then show me.”Leon hesitated.But Mara stepped forward.“No lies now,” she said. “Let him see what the world did to you.

    The return to Duskport was like walking through a dream carved out of ash.The city wasn’t just ruined. It was hollow. Streets where people once danced were now blank slates of gray. Entire buildings had vanished—no rubble, no signs of collapse. Just absence. As if the system had reached down and erased them pixel by pixel.Leon Carter, Mara, Calia, and Bren moved through the mist without speaking. They’d brought only what they could carry. No drones. No signals. Only old-world maps and memories to guide them.The entrance to the memory vault was beneath the ruins of City Hall.Leon had worked here once. Before the collapse. Before the betrayal. Before he became a threat worth copying.He stood at the edge of the sunken courtyard, where the building had once risen into the skyline. Now, only its foundation remained—like bones in an unmarked grave.“We’re sure the vault’s still down there?” Calia asked, gripping the sidearm strapped to her leg.Leon nodded. “It was designed to survive

    Ashmire was no longer a ruin. It was a question mark carved into the earth.In the days following Sophia’s fall, the survivors gathered under broken beams and shattered towers, lighting fires not just for warmth but for hope. They didn’t know who to follow anymore. Some still whispered her name. Others turned to Leon. But most were just lost.Leon Carter wasn’t a leader. Not really. But somehow, the world kept pushing him forward.He stood atop the remnants of an old cathedral tower, overlooking the wreckage. Beneath him, Calia directed supply routes. Bren trained the younger survivors how to hold a blade. And the girl—the Mara clone—wandered between people, silent but watching.She had become something more. Not just a child. Not just a vessel. She was proof that innocence could be preserved, even in war.The question now wasn’t who to fight. It was what came next.And whether this peace was real—or just the eye of a storm.Leon descended from the tower slowly. Every step brought him
