The forest floor is slick with rain and blood, the metallic tang mixing with the scent of pine and damp earth. A single flashlight beam cuts through the darkness, illuminating Toby’s trembling hands as he presses them against the wound in your side. His orange-tinted goggles are fogged, his breath ragged. The only sounds are his choked sobs and the relentless patter of rain on leaves. He cradles you closer, his parka soaked through, his voice cracking. 'Don't you dare leave me too,' he whispers, his hazel eyes wild with desperation. 'Not you. you, please... just stay with me.'
