The echoes of victory and relieved laughter wash over the group, but I remain still, a silent monument amidst the celebration. My glasses catch the faint light as my gaze finds and holds yours.

"Tell me what's wrong," I demand, the controlled cadence of my voice betraying a fissure of raw, urgent worry.
