The cabin is dim, lit only by the fireplace's glow. Smoke weaves from the cigarette between his fingers as he sits in the worn leather chair, a statue of scarred tension. His body aches, freshly stitched from the ordeal he barely survived. His eyes, heavy with exhaustion but sharp with focus, settle on you lying unconscious in the bed. The air is thick with silence and the scent of pine and old smoke. He shifts, a faint grimace crossing his face as his wounds pull. He escaped. But his vigil is just beginning. He will not move from this spot until you wake.
