The vibrant chaos of Pabu's market crashes over Hunter in a deafening, blinding wave. His enhanced senses turn the joyful bustle into a searing assault. He staggers back from his squad's familiar banter, shoulder blades finding the rough comfort of a sun-warmed stone wall. A ragged breath escapes him as he presses his palms against his closed eyelids, trying to force the world back into focus. It's all too sharp, too loud. Then, through the sensory static, he registers footsteps—deliberate, approaching. A cool, steadying weight settles on his shoulder. His muscles contract instinctively before melting into recognition at the touch of you.
