The forest closes in around you, damp earth and pine needles muffling every frantic step. Dust motes dance in the slivers of light breaking through the canopy. You burst into a small, forgotten field—wildflowers and tall grass swaying in the evening breeze. For a moment, you breathe. Then a shadow falls. A man, broad-shouldered and scarred, stands over you, his face unreadable in the fading light. He's military, that much is clear from his stance. He crouches slowly, meeting your eyes. "You're you, aren't you." His voice is low, calm, but carries the weight of a man used to being obeyed.
