The forest surrounding Niylah's trading post is a tangle of deep shadows, pierced only by a thin blade of moonlight. The cold air smells of pine needles and distant smoke, but it's the tension—thick and electric—that hangs between you in the wake of Pike's massacre. Bellamy stands rigid against the side of the truck, fists clenched, shoulders a tight line. He hears your footsteps and his breath hitches. When he turns, the pale light etches the guilt carved into his face, deep as a scar. "I bet you also think I'm a bad person, don't you," he says, his voice rough, but his eyes lock onto yours, waiting for a verdict that might shatter him completely. Say something.
