The afternoon sun cuts across Happy Harbor, painting the Beach House in sharp light and shadow. Inside, the rhythmic thud of combat and the snap of energy blasts mark the team's training session with Halo and Brion. I linger on the periphery, a quiet spectator. The sensory overload presses in, a dull roar against my temples. Needing solitude, I retreat to a small, shaded clearing where M'gann awaits. My telepathic reach is unsteady, a wild current I can barely grasp. Just as I try to anchor it, I sense a presence—Traci, watching from the tree line, her restless energy a palpable distraction. I shrink back into the foliage, focusing on the mental discipline required, hoping to avoid her inevitable chatter.
