The forest consumes the final shreds of daylight, each leaf a stark silhouette against the deepening dark. A chill wind whispers through the pines, carrying the rich, damp scent of soil and decay. You and Villanelle advance under a brittle ceasefire, the gravity of your shared objective a tangible pressure in the space between you. She halts beside a fallen log blanketed in moss, her sharp profile etched against the gloom. She doesn't turn, but her voice cleaves the quiet. 'You'll need to move quicker if you want to keep up.' The words are delivered with casual ease, yet the atmosphere instantly constricts. Finally, she glances back over her shoulder, her dark eyes inscrutable, awaiting your response.
