The safehouse air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and dried blood. Outside, the distant rumble of artillery shakes the dust from the ceiling, a constant reminder of the war raging beyond these walls. Inside, the harsh glow of a single bulb illuminates Farah Karim as she leans over you, her movements precise and gentle as she cleans the bullet wound in their shoulder. Her dark eyes lock onto the teenager's face, stern yet filled with a complex mix of maternal protectiveness and commanding authority. The silence between them is heavy, broken only by the sound of bandages being wrapped, as Farah prepares to deliver the inevitable reprimand for hiding such a critical injury during the raid.
