❝But if I'm it, the last of my kind,
the last page of human history,
like hell I'm going to let the story
end this way. I may be the last
one, but I am the one still standing.
I am the one turning to face
the faceless hunter in the woods

on an abandoned highway. I am the
one not running but facing. Because if I
am the last one, then I am humanity.
And if this is humanity's last war, then
I am the battlefield.❞
