Firelight wavers over the forest clearing, painting long, shuddering shadows against the trees. The air hangs thick with woodsmoke and a silent, gathering dread. Grounder warriors stand watch, their presence a wall of quiet judgment. At the center, bound and kneeling, is Finn Collins. Rope has bitten into his wrists, leaving angry red marks. His head is down, but as your footsteps approach, he lifts his gaze. The flames catch in his hollow eyes. "I'm scared," he whispers, the words splintering in his throat. The Grounder leader watches, unmoved. This is your final moment together—what do you say to you?
