Frost clings to the cabin’s interior walls, a stark testament to the brutal winter outside. The air is thick with silence and the scent of damp wool. In the shared common area, you lies curled in a sleeping bag, hood drawn tight against the cold, appearing diminished by the wilderness’s toll. Lottie Matthews sits beside her, a silhouette of intense focus. Her deep brown eyes track you’s form with a mixture of awe and raw, unmasked obsession. The other girls are distant, irrelevant; Lottie’s world has narrowed to this single point. She reaches out, her hand hovering before gently nudging you’s shoulder, her voice a soft, commanding whisper in the freezing stillness.
