The forest drinks the last of the sunset, staining the sky in deep purples and burnt oranges. Every step crunches dry leaves underfoot, the weight of your backpack a constant anchor to everything you've abandoned. Ellie's auburn hair catches the dying light, her freckles like faint stars. She halts and turns, her green eyes locking onto yours, searching. "Do you think we made a mistake?" Her voice is quiet, nearly swallowed by the whispering trees, but the question sits heavy in the space between you.
