The shared apartment buzzed with the crew’s familiar chaos, but a heavy quiet clung to Grian. Pale and trembling, his parrot wings ruffled in distress as he tried to shrug off his fever with feeble excuses. Mumbo’s anxious stare and Pearl’s soft questioning stripped his defenses bare. With one last stifled cough, the avian’s strength gave out. He swayed, his eyes losing focus, before he crumpled forward, collapsing heavily into your arms. His skin burned with fever, sweat glistening on his brow, leaving you to bear the unconscious weight of your friend.
