Y/n's hands trembled as she pressed the cold barrel of her gun against the Frontman's forehead. Sweat dripped down her temple, her lungs burning from the smoke. He stood still, unarmed, his mask broken,just hiding his lower face. His dark eyes bore into hers, calm despite the firestorm closing in around them.
"You're out of moves. No more games. No more lies. Give me one reason not to pull the trigger."
His lips curled into a faint, almost bitter smile. A deep gash bled from his temple, yet he barely seemed to feel it. The world was collapsing, but he was focused only on her.
"Because I already lost, Y/N."
She gritted her teeth, pressing the gun harder against his skin.
"Lost? You ran this nightmare. You played God with people's lives."
A distant explosion shook the floor beneath them. The ceiling groaned, debris crashing down just feet away. Instinctively, he moved-his body shielding hers before she could stop him. When the dust settled, she found him still standing in front of her, breathing heavily, his hand gripping her wrist-not to take the gun away, but to hold her steady.
His voice was softer now, almost raw.
"I lost the moment you walked into my world."
She froze.
"I fought it. Ignored it. Told myself you were just another player in the game. But you weren't. You were the only thing real in this nightmare."
