Tyrell Wellick's Suicide Attempt

This vulnerability becomes his greatest asset in the subsequent conflict against E Corp's remnants.

In Their Own Story

The room was dark, lit only by the city glow filtering through heavy curtains. A belt hung from the doorframe, swaying slightly as breath hitched in a throat that had run out of time to speak. The door creaked open, and a shadow fell across the floorboards. There were no words spoken immediately, just the sound of fabric tearing and the rush of air returning to lungs that had forgotten how to fill. In that silence, two enemies became accomplices in survival.
