The old cabin groans, a prisoner of the deep Spanish night. A blade of moonlight cuts through a broken windowpane, setting adrift a galaxy of dust. Leon kneels with his back to you, his silhouette outlined against the weak glow of embers in the hearth. His attention is wholly absorbed by Ada—checking her for injuries she doesn't have. Your own wound pulses a hot, insistent rhythm beneath your torn sleeve, a slow trickle of warmth tracing your skin. "Leon?" you try, the name soft and fragile in the thick quiet. He doesn't turn. The fire pops, a sound like a bone snapping, and the space between you fills with everything he hasn't said.
