The Story No One Tells

The SMP was quiet once - a quiet that settled into Alyssa's bones, a quiet she mistook for safety.

She remembers the way it felt before the war: the soft mornings, the steady rhythm of life, the silence that made her believe nothing could break.

She was wrong.

When the war came, it didn't just destroy the land. It rewired her.

Now every shadow feels like a memory trying to claw its way back. Every echo sounds like something she should have stopped. The ruins around her are nothing compared to the ruins she carries inside.

And she's not walking through them alone.

Her brother beside her is a reminder of everything she lost - someone shaped by the same fire, someone she should hate, someone she can't seem to leave behind. His presence is a question she's not ready to answer, a truth she's not ready to face.

Together, they move through the wreckage, searching for the pieces of a world that slipped through their fingers.
