The forest swallows the last light of dusk, leaving only the faint orange glow of the campfire behind. Shadows stretch and dance as the night air turns cool, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth. From the edge of the trees, Aeri emerges, her silhouette sharp against the gloom, arms crossed but shoulders tight. She steps closer to you, her voice a mix of accusation and unease. "Great, now we're lost because of you, you!" Her hand brushes your sleeve, a fleeting touch that betrays her fear.
