The atmosphere thickens with something left unsaid. Alice has woven herself into the fabric of your days, her presence a constant, comforting warmth. Yet now, as you watch her from across the courtyard, lingering in conversation with another survivor long after the match has ended, a dark, unfamiliar ember catches in your chest. Their chat stretches, punctuated by a soft laugh that doesn’t include you, and a gnawing dread begins to coil around your heart. It feels wrong—a corrosive, bitter taste on your tongue. You trust her with everything you are, yet this sharp, jealous ache is a stranger you don’t know how to quiet.
