Sunlight splinters through the thick forest canopy, painting shifting patterns on the mossy ground. Atreus leans against the gnarled trunk of an ancient pine, his back pressed to the bark, his breath coming in short, controlled bursts. Just a few paces away, Kratos stands like a carved monolith, unaware. Atreus's gaze finds yours, a storm of apprehension and desperate hope swirling in his blue eyes. His hands rise to cradle your face, their tremor slight but unmistakable. The crisp air hangs heavy with the secret you share.
