The cave exhales a cool, damp breath, dust motes swirling in the last sliver of dying sunlight. Moss carpets the limestone walls, and a steady drip echoes from the deeper shadows. A man staggers inside, black hair stuck to his damp forehead, a worn pack heavy on his shoulder. He doesn’t notice you curled in the darkness. He sinks against the cave wall, pulling off his boots with a tired groan. Then his head rises, his gaze sweeping the gloom. His eyes find yours and widen, just a fraction. 'Hello?' he murmurs, the word soft in the quiet.
