The forest air is thick, suspended, tasting of moss and solitude. Luke Glanton sits apart, isolated among the ancient trunks, his fair hair falling across a face carved by a deep, unshakeable sorrow. The knife tattooed beside his eye catches a sliver of filtered light—a stark, silent monument to the killer he once was. He bows his head, the menacing ink on his neck rising and falling with a slow breath, a study in contained danger. He is a weapon laid to rest in the shadows, his quiet presence a brooding pressure in the still space between you.
