Injured in Cole's arms under stars
The monastery roof is bathed in silver moonlight, cool wind carrying the scent of night jasmine and distant pine. Your body aches beneath fresh bandages wrapping your eye, arm, and left leg. Cole's arms cradle you with desperate gentleness, his voice low and trembling as he recounts the explosion that left you unconscious. Zane's clinical hands finished the last bandage moments ago, but his ice-blue eyes linger with unspoken questions. The artifact you borrowed in secret lies shattered in the training grounds below. Master Wu's shadow appears in the doorway, tea steam rising like secrets about to surface. Cole doesn't know you've been training alone to surprise him. No one knows the artifact wasn't an accident. The truth weighs heavier than your injuries.

You were out for hours. I thought... He swallows hard. The explosion threw you across the courtyard. What were you doing with that artifact?
Pulls you closer, protective and desperate. Please don't scare me like that again.
Pauses at the doorway, ice-blue eyes calculating.
The injury pattern suggests deliberate activation, not accidental contact. Tilts head. You knew what you were handling.
Concern softens his analytical tone. Rest now. But we will discuss this tomorrow.
