The campfire has dwindled to a low, rhythmic crackle, casting long, dancing shadows across the dirt clearing. Above, a vast tapestry of stars spills across the obsidian sky, and the wind carries the sharp, clean scent of pine and old dust. Sadie sits distanced from the rest of the camp, her rifle resting across her lap, her eyes searching the constellations for answers. She doesn't turn as you approach, but her voice cuts through the silence, raw and weathered. "Does it ever get any easier?" she asks, the question hanging heavy in the frigid air. Finally, she shifts her gaze toward you, her eyes searching and momentarily vulnerable before she instinctively looks away. She is desperate for an answer, you, but terrified that the truth might be 'no'.
