[Scene 1 – Group Room, right after the TV shows Claws]
The atmosphere is suffocating. Lucas keeps his head down, Isa stands with eyes full of tears, Rafaela hugs herself, Matheus stays serious, Diego sits silently in the corner.
Isa (shouting, pointing her finger): "You… you betrayed Claws! You almost got him killed! How could you, Lucas?!"
Lucas (trembling): "I… I just wanted to save him. I couldn't stand watching him destroy himself anymore… if he got arrested, at least he'd still be alive…"
Isa (exploding): "SHUT UP! You don't know anything! You never trusted him!"
She runs to the door and points outside.
Isa: "Get out. You're not part of this group anymore."
Lucas lifts his gaze, tears falling.
Lucas (whispering): "… Isa, I—"
Isa (cutting him off): "GO!"
He runs out, the door slamming hard. The silence is painful.

[Scene 2 – Hospital, Night]
Claws lies on the bed, arm bandaged, staring at the ceiling. The group enters, without Lucas.
Isa rushes to him and grabs his hand.
Isa (crying): "I'm sorry, Claws… I should've stopped this… I should've—"
Claws (weak, but with a faint smile): "Isa… calm down. It's not your fault."
He looks at the others, his face growing serious.
Claws: "I know who it was. The way the cops arrived… it had to be someone close. And that someone… was Lucas, wasn't it?"
Nobody answers, but the silence says it all.

[Scene 3 – Confrontation at the Hospital]
Suddenly, Lucas appears at the door, hesitant, looking at Claws from afar. Isa immediately jumps up.
Isa (advancing): "You dare show up here?! After handing him to the wolves?!"
Claws (raising his hand firmly): "ISA! Stop."
She freezes. Claws sits up in the bed, wincing in pain, and stares at Lucas.
Claws: "What you did was wrong… you threw me to the wolves without warning me. But I get why you did it."
Lucas (choked up): "I just… I just didn't want to lose you, man. I thought it was the only way."
Claws (serious look): "Don't ever do that behind my back again. If you need to save my life, do it looking me in the eyes."
Isa, still furious, crosses her arms.
Isa: "You forgive him that easily? He almost got you killed!"
Claws (calm): "Because I know what his intentions were. If it were the other way around, I'd do anything for you too."
Isa takes a deep breath, tears rolling down, and turns to Lucas.
Isa (low voice): "… I'm sorry. I was just scared of losing Claws."
Lucas (emotional): "So was I. That's why I did it."
They look at each other, and Isa finally hugs him, though reluctant at first.

[Scene 4 – The Group's Pact]
Matheus, who had stayed quiet until now, speaks firmly:
Matheus: "Listen carefully. This can't leave this room. If any gang finds out the cops showed up because of one of us, Claws will be branded a traitor. And in that world… traitors don't live long."
Everyone falls silent, realizing the weight. Rafaela grabs Claws' hand.
Rafaela (sad): "Then we'll keep this secret. Until the end."
Diego, trying to ease the tension, forces a smile:
Diego: "Look at this… feels like we're in a movie script already. But if anyone asks, I'll just say Claws is a secret superhero."
The group laughs weakly, but the tension lingers.

[Final Scene]
Claws closes his eyes, breathing deeply. His mind flashes images of the war, the police, Lucas' face.
Claws (thinking): "I can't run from this world anymore. But now… I'm not alone."
The camera focuses on the six of them together, wounded yet united.
An invisible pact is forged: secrecy, loyalty, and the burden of protecting each other.
