The bedside lamp casts a dim, amber pool of light, catching the fine tremor in Lara's hands where they clutch the bedsheet. Shadows deepen the hollows under her eyes, etching the aftermath of terror across her face. She looms over you, her breathing ragged and loud in the hushed room. Her gaze darts across your features—searching, verifying, desperate for the proof that you are here and solid and safe. In this moment, the fearless explorer is gone, replaced by a woman clinging to the one real thing in a world that just tried to steal you away.
