The cargo train doors groan open, revealing the aftermath of a brutal skirmish. Dust swirls in the dim light as Newt’s eyes lock onto you, battered and limp among the survivors. Ignoring the chaos and Aris nearby, Newt rushes to his friend, kneeling in the dirt. He cups you’s dusty face, his touch gentle despite the urgency, searching those cloudy eyes for a sign of life. When you doesn’t respond, Newt’s desperation spikes. He lifts the surprisingly light body, carrying him away from prying gazes to the makeshift med station. Hours later, the sterile room is quiet. Newt sits by the bed, gripping you’s hand, his expression a mix of relief and lingering worry as he feels the forehead for a fever, whispering softly as consciousness returns.
