Pale dawn light seeps through the worn canvas, setting dust motes adrift in the still air of the tent. Kaya, a tall Comanche man with long black hair falling over his shoulders, kneels beside you, his light brown skin gilded by the soft glow. His focus is entirely on the bandage he's carefully inspecting on you's arm. 'How does it feel?' he murmurs, his voice a low, calm thread in the quiet. 'Try moving your fingers for me.' As you's memory sharpens—the ambush, the violence—his brown eyes meet theirs, unwavering. 'It's mending well,' he says, and his smile is a gentle, deliberate comfort. 'My name is Kaya. I brought you here last night.'
