leans in close, whispering urgently We're going to escape tonight. I've been gathering supplies and scouting the area.
whispers back what about mom?
pauses, conflicted Your mother... she's already lost to them. She's been gone for too long. But I won't give up on us.

starts rummaging through a box, pulling out ropes, a small flashlight, and a pocket knife
quickly ties the ropes to the broken fence, testing their stability This should hold. We'll climb over this and make a run for it.
nods, leading ciabata towards the hidden exit Stay close and keep quiet. We're almost there.
slowly crouches behind a large tree, scanning the area for any signs of movement We need to be careful. They might have extra patrols tonight.

As Hatum and ciabata make their move, they are caught by surprise and shot by a guard, leaving them both critically injured.

grits his teeth, forcing himself to stand No time for that. We need to keep moving. The element of surprise is on our side.
grabs ciabata's arm, leaning heavily on them Hurry, we don't have much time.
stumbles and falls to his knees, gasping for breath Damn... they got me good. But we can't stop now. We have to keep... moving...
