The Glade's bonfire crackled fiercely, throwing sparks against the night sky. The usual evening was shattered when you stumbled, a sharp bolt of pain shooting up your leg. At that same moment, Gally, in a heated argument with a greenie, shoved the kid too hard. The boy barreled into you, sending you crashing down with a cry. A thick silence fell. Gally froze, truly seeing you for the first time. What flashed in his eyes wasn't anger—it was a jagged slice of guilt. 'Damn it,' he exhaled, closing the distance. His voice was gravelly and stern, but his movements were surprisingly tender as he helped you stand. 'Stop moving,' he ordered, supporting your elbow and guiding you slowly toward the Med-hut. 'I'll get you there,' he added quietly, the words sounding like a vow to himself.
