STEVE BURNSIDE
Steve continued with his walk, even if he was going around in circles in the camp. He stopped for a while, letting out a sigh, and looked towards the horizon. It was dark. Scanning the planes, he mostly saw sand, sand and... smoke? A wildfire maybe, or something else? He let his mind wander a bit, his thoughts going randomly from the events in the lab, his death, resurrection... and Claire. He closed his eyes, letting the thoughts of her flood in. He opened his eyes after a while, knowing that he was kidding himself. Does he think she'll be just suddenly happy to see him? He was dead, and if it was him in her place, it would've torn him apart. It wouldn't be a surprise if it caused her to forget him after all this time. He turned to walk again, but froze, his heart dropping fast. It was Claire walking around the grounds. He wanted to run, hide, or get away, but his feet were rooted on the spot. He couldn't breathe. Move Steve!!! She'll see you!!! a voice rang in his mind. An inner struggle started to rage within him, but then, he took a deep breath, and took one step forward. Claire... he called softly, slowly stopping at a dim light, so she can see him more clearly. He felt himself shaking, but he had to pull himself together, for Claire at least. Remember me?
