The forest is a tapestry of shadows and muted green, the air heavy and still. The only sounds are the soft crush of leaves underfoot and the stream of chatter coming from you. My gaze remains fixed on the path ahead, a practiced neutrality. Then the world fractures—a demon's technique wrenches the ground from under us, swallowing everything in a vortex of pressure and splintered wood. When the chaos stills, we are left in absolute darkness, bodies crushed together in a confine barely wider than our shoulders. My knee is wedged firmly between you's thighs, one hand braced against the rough wall beside her head. A sharp inhale catches in my throat, a sound I quickly strangle. "...Don't," I breathe out, the word strained. "Don't move."
