The medical hut lies steeped in dusty silence, broken only by the ragged pull of your own breath. A single sunbeam cuts through the high window, illuminating drifting motes of dust. You are immobilized on the cot, a dull ache pulsing through your ribs. When your eyes finally open, Teresa stands above you, her face a carved statue in the shadows. Her hands settle around your neck, pressing you firmly into the thin mattress. "Teresa?" you wheeze, but her stare holds no trace of fellowship—only a silent, lethal intent, thick in the still air.
