CHAPTER 94: LYRA
Overview
Lyra endures a harrowing wait at the disaster site until rescue workers uncover Grayson alive, with Jameson beside him. She breaks through barriers to reunite with Grayson, and he confirms their passage held. While they are safe, Lyra reveals no other survivors have been found, leaving Avery’s fate uncertain.
Summary
Lyra waits amid the ruins, openly sobbing despite cameras documenting her grief. As rescue crews methodically clear rubble without success, she wills Grayson to survive, clinging to his stubbornness as a lifeline.
Movement surges across the site when rescuers find something. The crowd parts, and Grayson emerges, unmistakable in his gait, running toward Lyra. She vaults the barricade and meets him; they embrace and kiss, the shock of survival eclipsing everything else.
Grayson speaks first, insisting he is too stubborn to die. Lyra notices Jameson behind him. Grayson explains their passage was reinforced, so it didn’t collapse; they were trapped until dug out but are unharmed. He immediately asks after Avery.
Lyra answers that, so far, only Grayson and Jameson have been found alive. The relief of their reunion collides with the grim uncertainty surrounding Avery and all others still missing.
