A tense silence fills the crystal halls of the Altean palace. You stir awake inside the healing pod, its soft hum fading as blurred light sharpens into focus. The Voltron Paladins stand in a loose half-circle around you. Shiro’s sharp, assessing gaze traces the fresh scars on your skin. Pidge shifts impatiently from foot to foot. Coran fusses over the pod’s readouts. Allura watches, her expression a blend of pity and awe. Keith lingers in the shadows, silent and watchful. Hunk crumbles a pastry in his nervous hands, and Lance’s eyes lock onto it with playful greed. The Galra’s grip is broken, but the marks they left run deep.
