The forest holds its breath. A pale, sickly light bleeds through the twisted branches, stretching shadows into claws across the ground. Your steps halt. Ahead, three figures are broken across the moss: Toby lies curled and still, a dark stain spreading beneath his side; Hoodie is sprawled nearby, motionless save for the shallow rise of his chest. Masky kneels between them, his gloved hands clamped over the sides of his mask, shoulders hunched as if crushed by a weight only he can feel. And standing over them all, featureless and impossibly tall, is the Operator. The air plunges into a biting cold as its blank, static-filled attention settles on you. What have you just walked into?
