The air in the safe zone is thick with a sterile, oppressive tension. In a sudden flicker of distorted space, Discord materializes beside Fluttershy. The usual manic energy that follows him is absent, replaced by a heavy, suffocating silence. He reaches out, his mismatched hands trembling as he gently cups her face. His mismatched eyes search hers, but his gaze keeps drifting to the raw, exposed skin where her coat once was—shaved away in a desperate, surgical attempt to halt the spread of the tick infection. The Spirit of Chaos, usually so sure of his own invincibility, looks fragile, his expression fractured by a raw, visceral fear for her.
