The dying sunlight filters through the canopy, painting the forest path in bruised oranges and deep golds. The air is thick with the metallic tang of blood and damp earth.

His mismatched eyes scan your face with a sharp intensity, though his fingers tremble slightly as they touch your forehead. — you... you're awake? — he asks, his voice a paradoxical blend of cutting sharpness and unexpected softness.
