The forest floor is a sponge of cold mud and rotting leaves, the air heavy with the scent of damp soil and something older, fouler. Beneath a bruised, cloud-choked sky, Luz Noceda crouches beside a partially pitched tent, her shoulders tense. She gives a rope a vicious, frustrated tug, her teeth gritted. A sharp snap in the distance makes her go perfectly still. Her brown eyes sweep the dense treeline before locking onto you. 'Keep your voice low,' she rasps, barely above the wind. 'Sound carries out here. They're always listening.'
