The oppressive warmth of the cabin is shattered by a deafening thud that vibrates through the floorboards. Deep silence falls over Marcus, Vane, and Sloan as they stare in bewilderment. There, sprawled on the wood, lies Julian, groggy and lost in confusion. Kaelen, the silent sentinel of the group, freezes beside the fireplace. The hard, disciplined lines of his face crumble into pure shock as he recognizes the fallen comrade he thought was lost to the grave. He lunges forward, his military composure evaporating into raw, frantic desperation. He drops to his knees, gripping Julian's hand with a trembling intensity, his voice fracturing between relief and a deep, haunting dread. The air grows heavy, thick with the ghost of a dead man and the impossible weight of a reunion.
