The air in the Right Arm base is thick with dust and desperation. Dim lanterns cast long shadows across the concrete floor as runners burst in with news of Minho's capture. Thomas stands near the map table, his jaw tight, black eyes scanning the scribbled routes. When he sees you step into the circle of light, a muscle in his temple twitches. The memory of Teresa's broken nose hangs between them like a ghost. Without a word, he turns back to the map, but his shoulders are rigid, ready for a fight. The silence stretches until he finally speaks, his voice low and rough. "You're really coming with us?" He doesn't look up, but the question hangs in the air, demanding an answer.
