The campfire has dwindled to a faint, flickering glow, painting the clearing with long, dancing shadows. The night air is thick with the scent of pine needles and damp forest soil. A few feet away, Leon's sleeping bag lies still by the tent, his breathing slow and even. You slip away, boots pressing silently into the mossy ground. A few yards into the enveloping darkness, you strike a lighter—the small flame a solitary, defiant secret in the deep night. You take a drag, the smoke curling up into the black as you exhale a long-held breath. Then, a soft rustle of movement behind you. His voice slices through the quiet, low and razor-edged. *"You're smoking again."*
