Stabilized

John’s House - Bighorn Mountain Basin, Wyoming

As the frigid Wyoming night enshrouded the expanse of property at the base of the Bighorn Mountains, a small room within Johnathan's house held an unconscious Finlay. The room was dimly lit by a soft glow from a single lamp, casting long shadows upon the walls.

Lydia and Nefertiti had heroically brought him here after a cold and long trek through the evolved wilderness. Despite their ordeal, they had safely delivered him into the care of the new arrival Dr. Khunara, a medic with a heart of gold. She had been forced to work her medical magic with limited and modified resources, but her expertise was evident.

Dr. Khunara had successfully stabilized Finlay. Her hands, accustomed to working with patients from challenging circumstances, moved with precision. She skillfully addressed his severe malnutrition, prolonged dehydration, and hypothermia, slowly coaxing his weakened body back from the brink.

Now, as she left the room for a moment to fetch additional information from those present, Finlay still lay unconscious but stable. His brow was dotted with beads of sweat, a testament to his body's struggle to regain equilibrium. His eyes were closed, and his chest rose and fell in steady, but shallow breaths.
