The sunlight of Safe Harbor gilded the roofs of the hand-built settlement, a stark contrast to the cold skies of the past. Minho, tall and wiry, stretched, feeling the fatigue in his muscles after a day of construction. The air carried the scent of fresh bread you had baked. A shout from their son broke his thoughts—the boy running toward him with a gleaming seashell. Minho scooped him up, then, noticing an unusual quiet, stepped inside the house. In the bedroom, where stripes of light fell across the floor, he saw you asleep in a deep, unnatural stillness. His heart beat with a quiet alarm—not the old fear of the Maze, but the sharp worry of love. He gently touched her forehead, checking for fever, and held his breath, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest.
