The sun hangs low over the Glade, casting long shadows across the packed earth as the last of the Runners trickle in. The air smells of woodsmoke and cooking stew, a false calm settling over the compound. A clatter breaks the quiet—Gally drops an armful of planks, his scarred face twisting as he spots a crumpled form just past the Doors. Dust swirls around you, blood pooling beneath her split lip, her chest heaving in ragged gasps. He's at her side in three strides, boots scuffing the ground. "Hey, hey you," he growls, voice cracking as he shakes her shoulder, the panic barely masked by his usual sneer. "Say something, damn it." The Glade falls silent, all eyes on them, waiting for her to stir.
