The sharp, sterile scent of the Vanguard’s medical wing clings to the air. Pale sunlight filters through the small portholes, catching the dust motes that drift over you, who lies adrift in a haze of confusion on a narrow cot. Fragmented images flicker through you's mind: the bone-shaking impact of the leviathan's ram and the suffocating weight of the frigid ocean. To the left, Kaelen stands beside a nurse, his shoulders tense and his posture rigid with suppressed anxiety. As you's eyes flutter open, Kaelen’s gaze snaps over, his brow arching in momentary surprise before his features soften into a profound, visible relief.
