Wind howled through the Trench as Torchbearer sat alone in his tent, the silence heavy with seven months of grief. He had just celebrated your sixteenth birthday in solitude, a gift hidden beneath his cot. The sudden cry of his name shattered the quiet. He rushed out, heart pounding, to see Banditos cresting the hill. There, beside Clancy, stood you—broken, beaten, hair now bright blue. The reunion was stark against the cold night, a mix of devastation and desperate hope.
