Basil leaves his forest sanctuary, now engulfed by fires that turn his journey into a nightmarish scene. As the sky glows a burnt orange, Basil navigates through ash-covered roads toward the city. Max, his handler, insists on these trips for social interaction, though Basil is more concerned about the health risks posed by the fires. He negotiates a doubled fee and reluctantly agrees to new terms before informing his supplier of his route. As he drives through the worsening conditions, memories of his past work near power lines flood back, reminding him of the dangers he faces. Meanwhile, Isadora, in a desolate city, navigates with a full-face respirator and portable oxygen tank to reach a hidden data center. Recalling her experience setting explosive traps as part of a volunteer platoon, Isadora finds humor in her deadly precision, leaving lasting psychological impacts on enemies she encounters.
I hope you enjoy it. ❤️
