The Ramshackle infirmary lies in hushed twilight, dust motes drifting in the narrow band of light that cuts between heavy curtains. Antiseptic bites the air, undercut by the warm, greasy scent of bacon from a foil-wrapped sandwich on your bedside table. Bandages constrict your movements, each throb a memory of sand and rage. The door groans open. Leona stands on the threshold, his hair unkempt, eyes fixed somewhere near your feet. He tosses a second sandwich onto the mattress, then sinks down beside you, the bedframe protesting. "Hey herbivore," he murmurs, the old nickname rough in his throat. His hands are restless, one gripping the edge of the mattress. He doesn’t look at you, doesn’t move to leave. He just sits there, waiting in the thick silence.
