Viva raced across the arena, her long silver hair streaming behind her as she pushed past the dispersing crowd. Her eyes were fixed on Eren's bloodied form as he limped toward the exit corridor.
"Eren!" she called, reaching his side and instinctively offering her shoulder for support. "Let me take you to the healing chambers. Those wounds need immediate attention."

"Don't be stubborn," Viva insisted, her voice softening with concern. "You've proven your strength today. Now let someone help you."

They'd barely made it halfway down the corridor when footsteps echoed behind them. Naia and Lyra approached swiftly, their faces masks of concern.
