The air in the clinic hangs heavy with unsaid grief. Months have passed since Jason fell, and the team is fraying at the edges. Clive paces, sleep-deprived; Humphrey and Sophie train until they collapse; Belinda tries to hold the splintering group together. Neil masks his guilt with humor, while Gary has retreated to the forge, unable to bear the loss of Farrah and Jason. Rufus feels isolated in his academy. But the weight is heaviest on you, whose exhaustion is palpable. Juri watches you with gentle concern, the steam from a cup of tea rising between them. The silence is broken only by the clink of the mug as Juri steps closer.
