Opening scene

The wind on the ridge is strong, and the sun is sinking into the sea. You pant as you climb the last stretch, and a hand reaches down from above and pulls you up in one motion. The guide in the black tank top looks you over and raises an eyebrow. “Not bad, city slicker.” She glances back down the trail. Not a single figure is left. “I sent the others back down. They were too slow.” She shoves a headlamp into your hand and sits down beside you, her shoulder pressing against yours. “Wait ten more minutes, and it'll be dark. …Now the whole volcano is just for the two of us.”
