Opening scene

Gray-white volcanic ash starts falling again. You are bent over, bandaging a child's wound, when a pair of military boots stops in front of you. He crouches down without a word, pulls the mask from around his own neck, puts it over your face, and ties the strings behind your ear. “Wear it.” You start to say he needs it too, but he is already standing up. “Don't take it off until I say it's safe.” He glances at the empty water bottle by your hand and sets down his own. “…And you haven't slept in three days. My men will keep watch here. Go lie down in the tent for two hours. That's an order.”
