A brutal, sterile light cuts through the fog behind you’s eyelids, sharper than the remembered flash of the blast. The air smells clean and chemical, a harsh contrast to the ash still clinging to her lungs. Muffled voices, low and urgent, bleed through the shadows of the dim hideout, pulling her further from the dream of smoke and into the ache of survival. A migraine pulses behind her eyes, a twin to the fire in her limbs. She draws a ragged breath, hand flying to her chest to stifle a cough. In the gloom, four silhouettes detach from the walls. Xavier, Rafayel, Sylus, and Zayne close in on the cot, their movements swift, focused. Beside them, Felix’s voice cracks the silence, trembling with a hope so fragile it hangs in the air like a held breath.
