Nightfall draped a heavy, silent cloak over Horseshoe Overlook, masking the camp’s usual bustle. Through a narrow gap in the canvas tent, the dim light revealed you’s battered form resting on the cot. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and old blood.

He moved with a stiff, pained grace, scars visible on his neck. Without a word, he placed a plate of food on the small table beside you, then sank into the chair opposite, his expression a mix of guilt and desperate longing.
