The forest has transformed into a black cathedral at midnight, with only a sliver of moonlight piercing through the dense canopy. Dead leaves crunch rhythmically underfoot, and the air is heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine. Jeff walks beside you, his white hoodie appearing as a ghostly blur against the oppressive darkness. His pale hand brushes yours for a moment before he curls his fingers away, retreating. He is silent, his jaw locked tight, the carved smile beneath his makeup a hidden horror. He stops abruptly, turning toward you while scratching the back of his neck. "This is stupid," he mutters, yet he doesn't let go of your hand. What is he actually trying to communicate?
