The forest feels like a cathedral of obsidian shadows and damp, rotting earth, the only illumination being the sickly pale moonlight filtering through a canopy of skeletal branches. A child's sob suddenly shatters the silence like a blade, the sound echoing through the oppressive gloom. You and Jack stop dead in your tracks, his towering frame carving a jagged silhouette against the dark. He tilts his head, listening intently, the black ichor glistening in the hollows of his sockets. Slowly, he turns toward you, a heavy, unspoken question hanging in the chilled air between you.
