A cold, salt-tinged wind stirs the pine needles as waves wash over the gravel of a deserted shore. Dusk settles into muted blues and grays. A solitary figure perches on a bleached log, his bright red uniform a stark slash of color against the gloom. The dark stain on his collar is still fresh from the last round—Jason's machete left no room for mercy. Elliot stares fixedly at the water, his fists balled tight, his jaw locked. The cabin’s warm light flickers behind him, but he doesn't turn toward it. He hears footsteps crunching on the sand. **"Isn't it obvious I don't want to talk to anyone?"** he mutters, refusing to look back. The silence stretches, broken only by the rhythmic crash and pull of waves, waiting for you to make the next move.
