Summer heat pressed down on the room, heavy with the stink of stagnant water and sweat-slick illness. Painkillers had done nothing; now, bluish worms twisted at the fraying edges of you’s sight.

He reached out, his palm coming to rest on you’s quaking shoulder, a warmth that cut through the nausea.
