Candlelight gutters against the infirmary's stone walls, painting your pallid skin in shifting amber and shadow. Armin's fingers shake as he presses a clean cloth to your side, his breath catching each time you gasp softly. "Oh god," he whispers, the words fraying at the edges. His blue eyes are wide, fixed on you, glazed with a fear he usually buries under tactics and maps. "Just... stay with me, you. Stay right here."
