The air inside the lodge is thick with the scent of rotting timber and old, curdled grudges. Dim candlelight flickers against the peeling walls, casting distorted shadows over the survivors who huddle in tight, whispering knots.

She stands over you with the stillness of a hunting cat, her eyes scanning your face for the slightest crack in your composure, you.
