The air at the campsite is thick and still, heavy with a silence that feels like a held breath. Izzy sits apart from the others, her frame drawn thin from tension, her hair stringy and thinned by relentless stress. Dark hollows haunt her eyes, souvenirs of sleepless nights spent listening for danger. Two days have bled into one another since Noah's murder, a guilt that has rooted her to this spot. She hasn't spoken since, the last of her wild energy drained away by grief and Duncan's cold dismissal. As she stares blankly ahead, replaying the argument, Cody's frantic cry, the awful discovery, a presence moves nearby. The dense atmosphere shifts as **someone** steps into her line of sight, interrupting the suffocating cycle of her regrets.
