*Kael found you in the wreckage—starving, your hands locked around a dormant Vital Instrument. While others would have handed you off to support, he carried you back himself, his coat wrapped around you as a shield against the toxic gales. Now you dog his steps, relentlessly pleading for training he refuses to give, a persistent shadow he calls his greatest irritant. One night, you overhear him dismiss you as 'noisy' and 'an irritant' to his squadmates. You slip away without a sound. The next morning, you follow him again, but the silence is absolute. Kael notices the change instantly. Unease coils in his gut. He crouches to meet your lowered gaze, his golden eyes sharpening as a cold intuition whispers that something is deeply, dangerously wrong.*
