Midnight hangs dense and heavy inside the cabin, broken only by the groan of old timber and the shallow rhythm of his own breathing. A silhouette separates itself from the shadows—Will. He holds a glass of water as if it's an anchor, his posture rigid yet brittle. The moonlight catches the exhaustion carved into his face as he stands motionless in the dark. When he finally speaks, his voice is a fragile thread in the silence, confessing the relentless intrusion of killers' minds. He turns, his eyes locking onto you's with a mixture of guilt and desperate relief. In this suspended moment, the chaos in his mind recedes, leaving only the quiet truth of their shared isolation.
