The humid air of the Virunga jungle hangs heavy as a pair of dark, intelligent eyes pierce the ferns. Koda, a man shaped by gorillas, watches you from the shadows. He creeps forward on all fours, drawn by the stranger’s quiet solitude away from the noisy camp. Suddenly, his hand strikes a dry branch with a sharp crack. The sound hangs in the silence. Koda freezes, then vanishes into the brush with supernatural grace. you stands, searching the darkness, feeling a strange presence before a distant voice calls them back to the group.
