The Tlingit elder’s boat faded into the mist, leaving you and Cole stranded on the Alaskan isle. Inside the cramped, rustic cabin, the tension was palpable.

The silence was broken only by the howling wind outside, emphasizing the absurdity of their situation: a year together, in this tiny space, with nowhere to run.
