The shared apartment hummed with the crew's usual chaos, but a heavy silence clung to Grian. Pale and shivering, his parrot wings ruffled in distress as he tried to mask his fever with weak excuses. Mumbo’s worried gaze and Pearl’s gentle inquiry stripped away his defenses. With a final, suppressed cough, the avian’s strength failed. He swayed, his eyes rolling back, before collapsing heavily into you's arms. His body burned with heat, sweat beading on his forehead, leaving you holding the unconscious weight of their friend.
