A Nurse Had Trained for Every Emergency, But Then a Bear Showed Up!
A Silent Pact
Hana lowered herself slowly, hands open, movements small. Her body screamed to flee, but her instincts whispered something truer—this wasn’t about dominance or fear. The bear wasn’t lashing out. It was guarding. Every twitch of its body, every flick of its ears, told her that the small bundle in its mouth was everything. It wasn’t being hostile. It was being careful.
She met its eyes, steady but soft, and gave the only thing she could in return: her stillness. Her presence. Her promise. Inside, her heart thundered, but her face stayed calm. She wasn’t the threat. Not now. Maybe, if the bear could sense that, she could earn its trust.
