Embers of Eternity: A Love Rekindled in the Ashes

The bustling atmosphere of the 9th Infantry Division, Philippine Army, resonated with a mixture of duty and survival. Raizel, in search of resources for his research, navigated through the activity-laden corridors. His gaze scanned the faces of the soldiers, seeking familiarity in the midst of the unknown.

Amidst the uniformed ranks, a figure emerged—Max, a comrade and friend from the pre-apocalyptic days working in the same company. Recognition sparked in Max's eyes as he caught sight of Raizel.

"Raizel!" Max exclaimed, breaking away from his conversation with another soldier. The two friends closed the distance between them, expressions lit with surprise and joy.

"Max! It's been too long," Raizel grinned, pulling Max into a tight embrace. The camaraderie of their shared past echoed in the warmth of the reunion.

Azzrael, observing from a distance, couldn't help but feel a pang of something unfamiliar. As the two friends exchanged laughs and stories, Azzrael's gaze lingered on Raizel and Max's animated camaraderie.

Raizel, still beaming, turned to Azzrael. "General, meet Max. We used to work together before all of this."

Max saluted Azzrael, a nod of respect accompanying the gesture. "General, good to see someone with a plan around here."

Azzrael acknowledged the greeting with a nod. "Likewise, Max. Raizel's resourcefulness has been invaluable to us."

As the trio engaged in conversation, the camaraderie bridged the gap between the military and the civilian scientist. Raizel shared insights from his research, Max recounted their shared memories from the corporate world, and Azzrael found himself caught in the crossfire of their banter.

"So, Raizel," Max grinned, "how did you end up here, among the military brass?"

Raizel chuckled, offering a succinct summary of his journey from a scientist seeking a cure to an unlikely ally of the 9th Infantry Division.

Max, leaning against the wall, listened with genuine interest. "Well, well, look at you, making allies in high places. Who would've thought?"

Azzrael, usually reserved, observed the dynamic with a sense of disquiet. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but an unfamiliar emotion stirred within him—jealousy.

The trio continued their animated exchange, the echoes of shared laughter cutting through the somber undertones of the military base. Stories of their adventures before the world turned undead flowed freely, intertwining with discussions about the challenges of the present.

As Azzrael watched Raizel and Max share a moment of laughter, a subtle tension settled in his chest.

Raizel's infectious grin and the shared laughter with Max painted a picture of a bond forged in the crucible of a different world. Azzrael's gaze lingered on them, a silent spectator to a reunion that felt like a discordant note in the symphony of his solitude.

As Raizel introduced Max, Azzrael nodded in acknowledgment, the lines on his face betraying a flicker of something unfamiliar—jealousy. The easy banter, the shared jokes, they all grated against the stoic facade Azzrael meticulously maintained.

Azzrael's thoughts, usually focused on strategy and survival, wandered into uncharted territory. The camaraderie between Raizel and Max seemed to cast shadows on the bond Azzrael had formed with the scientist. An unspoken tension tightened within him, a disquiet that whispered of possessiveness and an unexplored territory of emotions.
