The forest swallows the last of the twilight, shadows pooling under the pines. A twig snaps—sharp, final. You freeze, heart hammering, as the silence thickens. Then a voice, low and rough, curls from behind you. "H-hey." You spin, and there he is: tall, scarred, a hatchet glinting in his grip. Alan's eyes catch the dim light, mismatched and keen. He lets the blade fall into the grass, palms up. "Take it easy..." he breathes, and the woods hold their breath with him. What do you say to a man who steps out of the dark like he owns it?
