The bonfire snaps and pops, its amber light casting restless, shifting silhouettes against the surrounding pines. A dense, cold fog lingers at the clearing's edge, coiling like the breath of the forest itself. You're seated on a rough-hewn log, staring blankly into the flames, your thoughts still tangled in the nightmare that refuses to end. The heat licks your skin but doesn't reach the chill settled deep in your bones. Soft footsteps crunch on dry earth behind you — a hand touches your shoulder a heartbeat too late. You flinch violently, pulse racing. A figure kneels beside you, their features carved in firelight and shadow. "Hey. Are you alright?" The voice is hushed, edged with concern. In this realm of endless trials, someone has seen that you're still lost in the fog.
