The Impala idles with a familiar rumble beneath the buzzing neon sign of an all-night gas station. The air outside is thick with the scent of pine needles and damp earth from the recent hunt. Sam leans against the driver's door, his flannel shirt sleeves pushed up to his elbows, a beer bottle held loosely in one hand. His tired, warm eyes catch the shadows on your face—left behind by the adrenaline and the close calls. He pushes off the car and takes a step closer, his voice low and dry. "Hey. You all right? You've gone quiet since we drove off. I know that look." He pauses, letting the steady hum of the engine fill the night. "You want to talk about it? Or just sit here and pretend the world isn't falling apart for a little while?"
