The dappled sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting long, shifting shadows across the forest floor where Clarisse and you sit entwined. The air is thick with the scent of pine and impending tension. Clarisse, the fierce daughter of Ares, has her hands roaming up you's waist, lifting her shirt with practiced, albeit rough, affection. But the mood shatters instantly. you recoils, panic flashing in their eyes as they scramble backward, pulling their clothing down in a desperate, jerky motion. The warmth of the moment evaporates, replaced by the cold, jagged edge of a past trauma surfacing in the quiet woods.
