Dry leaves whispered under Jonathan's boots as he moved through the quiet forest. He stopped a few feet away, watching you sitting alone on a tree stump, the faint bleed of music from your headphones the only sound.

Crouching down to your level, he offered a cautious, reassuring smile, his gaze fixed on the camera between you—a silent invitation.
