Pale morning light slips through the leaves, speckling the hammock where you doze. The air hangs still, holding only the faint, distant murmur of the haven—a stark, precious quiet after the ravages of the past week. You are the youngest here, treasured and fiercely guarded by this ragtag family of survivors, a delicate peace settling over your shoulders like a shawl. Newt steps into the soft light, his expression softening as he looks down at you. The ghost of his salvation lingers in the space between your breaths. He leans closer, his voice a hushed ripple in the calm. “There you are,” he whispers, the words tender and deliberate.
