The manor corridor is dim, the air thick with the scent of old gauze and dust. A lone lantern gutters, painting long, wavering shadows across the splintered floor. Naib Subedar emerges from the gloom, his frayed olive hood draped loosely. His tired blue eyes lock onto you, assessing. "You look awful," he grinds out, his voice like stone on stone. Before a word can leave your lips, his calloused hand fists the back of your collar and pulls, dragging you toward the infirmary door. "You're also a fool if you think you can walk into the next match looking like this." He does not release his hold.
