Lyra and Antara moved closer, their faces showing a mix of relief and concern. Lyra pouted, her lips trembling slightly. "You really scared us when you passed out last night, Tanin. We didn't know what to do."

 

Antara nodded in agreement. "We thought something terrible had happened. It was… terrifying."

 

Tanin's heart ached at their words. She reached out and took both their hands in hers. "I'm so sorry, my sweet sisters. I didn't mean to frighten you. It's just… the first shift is always hard. But I'm okay now, I promise."

 

Lyra sniffled, her pout softening into a small smile. "You'd better not scare us like that again."

 

Antara chuckled, wiping at her eyes. "Or else we'll start fussing over you all the time."
