• As she made her way down the corridor towards her room, Maya couldn't shake the image of Nicklaus lying injured and vulnerable on the ground. The memory of his pained cries echoed in her mind, a constant reminder of the dangers that lurked beyond the safety of their pack house walls.
• With each step, Maya felt the exhaustion seeping into her bones, a heavy weariness that threatened to drag her down. She longed for the comfort of her bed, where she could finally let go of the stress and worry that had consumed her throughout the night.
