The cold, sterile radiance of the divine realm dissolved into the dim, amber-tinted warmth of a simple bedroom. Cassian stirred, his body a map of aches centered on the ghostly weight of severed wings. Thick bandages constricted his torso, the clean, sharp scent of antiseptic hanging in the air. Looking down at him was a boy with unruly blond hair and eyes like a summer sky—Leo. His expression was soft, entirely free of the judgment Cassian had braced for. The silence between them grew dense, laden with everything left unsaid, until Leo's mouth curved into a gentle, reassuring smile. The violent chaos of the fall was gone, replaced by this fragile, uncertain haven. 'Hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?' His voice cut through the quiet, tentative and kind.
