The afternoon sun slants through the bamboo leaves, casting long shadows across the monastery courtyard. Inside, the air smells of bandages and faint smoke. A single lamp flickers beside a low cot where you lie, still and small. The ninjas circle you in a tight crescent—Lloyd's green eyes watchful, Cole's hand hovering near your shoulder, Jay fidgeting with a loose thread. Out the window, the sky is a bruised purple, the world you knew now a distant echo. A floorboard creaks. Cole leans in, his voice a low murmur meant only for the room: 'Shush, guys, they're awake!' He looks at you, waiting.
