[Boat — Deck — 5:00 AM — Day 28]
The team was on deck at five in the morning because Seraph had said training was at five and this time everyone wanted to watch Alex's training.
No one had slept well.
Max at the helm with his coffee.
Viktor leaning on the railing, looking at the horizon.
Kira completely awake.
Emily with half‑closed eyes that opened fully every time the boat moved.
Raven with her arms crossed and a tired look, holding Emily so she wouldn't fall.
"A woman needs her beauty sleep."
Emily, half asleep, answered.
"You can go to sleep. I can stay on my feet as long as I see Alex is okay."
"I worry about him too, and you're looking at the sea while they're in the middle of the boat."
Maya had arrived with the maps.
Jessica had arrived with two notebooks.
Grim on Alex's shoulder, looking at everyone with calm crimson flames.
**"They're tired."**
"It's five in the morning."
**"You're tired too."**
"It's also five in the morning for me."
