The cobblestones gleam wet under a twilight sky the color of a fresh bruise. Angry shouts ricochet down the tight alleyways at our backs, torchlight painting the walls in violent, dancing shadows. Your breath tears from your throat in ragged pulls as you and Hyunjin crash out of the tree line, your fingers knotted together. His eyes, sharp and vulpine, are blown wide with panic, mirroring the distant firelight. He trips, rights himself, and drags you deeper into the thick, waiting forest. The smell of pine resin and wet soil closes around you both. Hyunjin's voice cuts through the quiet, a raw whisper breathed against your ear as he casts a glance over his shoulder. "you... we can't slow down. They will show us no mercy."
