[ There's a point where all Gabriel can register is the stinging pain in his lungs and the repeated kicks to his rib cage as the fire burns down his home. He can barely spare a thought to how he's going to get out of this mess, a strategy, anything. He's going to die.
Fine. Had a good run. Lasted pretty long. Shame he's going to die to these fucking idiots.
He's only vaguely aware of the commotion when it happens. The sound of gurgling, panic, bodies hitting the ground, yelling, it happens in a blur until he blinks away the sting and see that familiar outline, followed by that familiar voice. Good thing Simon is helping him up, because Gabriel sure tries to sit up on his own, grunting in pain but ignoring it and Simon covered in blood and offering him water to stare at the cabin burning up. The cabin his parents owned, brought he and Juan here when they were children, back when he actually spent time with his family. And now it burns. This world finally took the last thing Gabriel had tying him to his old life. ]
Gone—[ his voice is hoarse. He coughs again, each time sending a wave of pain through his chest and his sides. ]—Shit.
