The cabin hummed, a gentle counterpoint to the nervous energy thrumming beneath Eric’s skin. His daughter, Lily, chattered excitedly about cloud shapes, oblivious to the grim reality unfolding around them.

Eric felt a cold knot tighten in his stomach. He glanced at the pilot, whose face was pale and drawn.
