A thunderous voice echoed through the abandoned park, its urgency cutting through the eerie silence. "Attention. All park-goers must report to the South Ferry Dock for immediate evacuation."

"Guys!" Darius called out, his voice tinged with a mixture of hope and anxiety. Vera, startled from her moment of vulnerability, hastily wiped her eyes and jogged towards the group, her footsteps echoing in the empty stadium.

Ben's perceptive gaze caught Vera's slightly disheveled appearance, concern etching his features. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice soft with worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Vera replied, her tone clipped as she brushed off his concern, desperate to maintain her composure.

Brooklynn's frustration bubbled to the surface, her voice sharp with annoyance. "That's it? No explanations? That's all we get?"

Darius, ever the leader, cut through the tension with decisive words. "We have to move. The only way we're gonna make it is if we run."

Sammy's voice held a note of hesitation as she questioned, "Uhm...Are we sure that's the best way to get there?" Her eyes flicked meaningfully towards Yasmina's injured state.
