Jorge wakes up with a throbbing headache, thinking his only challenge of the day will be dealing with a hangover. But a strange phone call leads him to a far more obscure destination: an underground shelter hidden deep in the countryside, run by Érica - a woman with exhausted eyes, precise words, and far too many secrets. What begins as a simple welding job turns into a dizzying descent into a reality where the world above may no longer exist - and time, down here, seems to stand still. Trapped between concrete walls, security systems, and uneasy silences, Jorge is forced to confront not only the mysteries around him but also himself. What is Érica hiding? And why does he feel that nothing in his life has been a coincidence?

Not every shelter protects. Some awaken what should have remained asleep.

·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:·𝐀 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:· ════════════════════ 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 Antonella Evelia Reyes Castellón is the name whispered through Spain's intelligence halls. A diplomat forged in pressure and precision; a GEO-trained asset with a mind sharper than any blade. She is twenty-four and already carries the gravity of a country rebuilding itself in the shadow of Las Plagas. What the world sees: a strategist draped in silk and silence. What her enemies fear: the girl who survived what should have broken her. When political obligation pulls Antonella from Madrid to Washington, into a nation desperate to bury truths she refuses to forget, her path collides with a man carved from the ruins she's been sent to confront. Leon Scott Kennedy is all scars and stubbornness, a soldier who walks like he's half-ghost, half-warning. He doesn't trust diplomats. He definitely doesn't trust her. But when remnants of the Plaga infection surface again, and two countries force them onto the same mission, Antonella learns that fate doesn't introduce itself politely. It crashes through the door. Into duty. Into danger. Into a war neither of them intended to start, one that has nothing to do with nations and everything to do with the hearts they guard too fiercely. Because sometimes the fight that matters most is the one you wage quietly against the person who sees you too clearly. And when silence meets ruin... even weapons learn how to feel. ✦ ❋ ✦ ❋ ✦ ❋ ✦

Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. The normal, everyday life in the Lower City. Whistles to signal when to wake, when to take a break, and when to sleep. Mira works in the pipeline, her small and slim physique making it an ideal job to do, especially to pay back the man that saved her life; Jerard. Two years ago, Mira was found dirty, bloody, and with no memory of who she was, wondering the back streets of the Lower city. Working in the pipeline was the only job that kept her from curious eyes, especially since she didn't have a Lower ID tag. An offence punishable by death. Life was hard, but it was simple. Easy. Her adventures with her only friend, Krane, passed the small moments between working, however Mira felt like something was missing. And when a young man shows up from the plush City above, trouble is stirred in all the wrong places, turning the small life Mira had upside down. With her friend & family's life on the line, Mira must dig deep to unlock her missing memories if any of them are to get out alive.
