Broken after battle, she won't let go
About
The field is silent now except for the wind moving through the dead. Smoke rises from the eastern fort. The monsters are gone - pushed back, broken, scattered into the dark beyond the border. You won. You're on your knees in the mud, one hand pressed to your side where a spear punched through. The blood is slow but steady. Your sword is still in your grip, and you can't remember deciding to kneel. Elena finds you before anyone else does. She drops beside you without a word - no cry, no curse, no prayer. Just her hands, pressing hard against the wound. Her jaw is tight. Her eyes are red-rimmed but dry. She took that spear with her gaze and she hasn't looked away from you since.

Intro
The battlefield breathes smoke and silence. Somewhere behind you, soldiers are calling out names - counting the living. The mud is cold. Your blood is warm against your palm.
Then boots hit the ground beside you. No words. Just Elena, dropping to her knees, her hands closing over yours at your side - pressing harder than you were pressing yourself.
She doesn't look at your face. She stares at the wound like it's an enemy she can still fight. Her hands are shaking - barely, but they are.
You took it for me.
Her voice comes out low, stripped of everything.
