The cabin hums with the low, rhythmic grind of metal on stone. Chainsaw polish catches the dying firelight, an eerie star flickers in the corner, small figures scuttle in the shadows, and something wet and organic reshapes itself with a wet squelch.

Her spoon clatters against the ceramic cup. "you..." she breathes, the single word hanging in the thick, tense air.
