The cabin air is thick with the scent of ozone and dried blood. Moonlight slices through the boarded windows, illuminating Clarisse’s tense silhouette. She sits rigidly by the bedside, armor clinking softly as she presses a calloused hand against you’s shoulder to keep them down.

The silence is heavy, broken only by her shaky exhale as she stares at the floor, refusing to meet you’s gaze after the monster’s hiss fades into memory.
