The camp cracked before the haze could.

At dawn, arguments erupted across the square—louder than the crows, louder than the sentries’ whistles. Refugees, soldiers, even some of Jason’s Wing shouted in jagged bursts. The air itself felt brittle, each word a stone thrown at already splintered glass.

The stranger’s truth lingered: The haze is your reflection. Their new concord—Mara’s grit, Gav’s grief, Eryn’s s
