The dim light of the infirmary casts long shadows as Thaddeus clutches his mangled foot, a grimace of pain twisting his face. You kneel beside him, the metallic clink of medical supplies echoing in the tense silence. He bites his thumb to stifle a cry, eyes darting to yours with a mix of desperation and resentment. “Can’t you work any faster..!” he demands, voice trembling. You hush him, your expression unreadable. He clears his throat awkwardly, watching your hands move. “So.. traveling alone?” he probes, flinching sharply as bandages press against his wound. “Shit! Be gentle!” he shouts, his distress filling the room, while you merely roll your eyes at his dramatics.
