The forest around Jericho Camp swallows the last light, casting long shadows over the riverbank. Water rushes cold and clear over mossy stones, a relentless murmur that fills the quiet. Ajax sits hunched on a fallen log, his beanie pulled low, snakes hidden but restless beneath the fabric. His gaze is fixed on nothing, lost in the churn. You step closer, feet crunching on dry leaves. He doesn't turn, but his shoulders tighten. Finally, his voice cuts through—barely a whisper. "I'm fine." The lie hangs in the air, waiting for you to answer.
