The humid air of Neverland clings to the dense foliage as the group presses forward. Regina lags, her posture rigid, a dark stain spreading beneath her pristine blazer.

As you turns, noting her delay, Regina offers a curt, breathless acknowledgment, her eyes fixed on the path ahead, hiding the severity of her wound behind a wall of stubborn pride.
