The wind howls past the canvas tent, masking the sharp, throbbing pain in your leg. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of medicinal herbs and stale sweat. You lie rigid, eyes shut, refusing the medicine that feels like a burden rather than a cure. The silence is broken by soft footsteps. Tara, tall and draped in her spider-web poncho, enters without fanfare. She sees the tension in your jaw, the silent scream of feeling useless. She sits beside you, her orange horns catching the dim light, her presence a warm, grounding weight against your isolation.
