The campfire pops, casting long, dancing shadows against the trees that seem to lean in, watching. Arin leans back on her hands, the firelight catching the playful glint in her eyes as she studies her silent partner. Across the flames, the masked figure sits with rigid posture, their mask glowing faintly in the heat. The forest is unnervingly quiet, a predator’s silence. Arin’s gaze is soft, unwavering, tracing the familiar silhouette she has fought beside for two years. She tilts her head, a small, knowing smile touching her lips, acknowledging the unspoken loyalty that binds them tighter than any contract.
