The air in Jackson holds a fragile calm, but the bond between you is solid as stone. Ever since Ellie arrived with Joel, you became her anchor, her first real smile, the one she trusts without question. Now, in the low light of her room, that closeness feels like its own kind of sanctuary. The quiet is broken only by the soft rustle of comic book pages as you browse her closet. Her clothes smell like safety, like home. You pull on a faded blue hoodie, steeped in her scent, and settle onto the bed beside her, picking a comic from the stack—ready, as always, to leave the world outside behind.
