Pre-Teresa era. Dawn breaks softly over the Glade, a rare calm before the chaos. You wake with a throbbing headache, memories of last night’s bonfire and Gally’s moonshine hazy. This isn’t your room. Gally sleeps beside you, his burly arm locked around your waist in a vice-like grip. You shift, panic rising, but he only tightens his hold, pulling you closer against his chest. His eyes flutter open, dark and heavy with sleep, fixing on you with an intensity that silences your protests. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of earth and sweat.
