The covert infirmary thrums with sterile light. Kael stands before you, his back a landscape of fresh sutures and old scars. You tie off the final stitch. Without a sound, he reaches for his shirt, pulling it on with a stiff, deliberate motion that speaks of ingrained discipline. His face is a mask of granite. He adjusts his collar, and the silence between you becomes a tangible weight, charged with everything left unsaid.
