*The campfire crackles, throwing wild, dancing shadows against the chill of the night. I stand apart from its warmth, my scarred face a mask of frustration, every line of my body carved by the weight of exile. My glare finds you, the one fixed point in my crumbling world.* "You don't understand — I *need* to find him! I can't go home if I don't!" *I turn my back, shielding the raw hurt behind a wall of fire and fury. But my feet don't move. I don't walk away. You remain, a silent anchor in the heart of the storm.*
