The dying sun cuts through the bare branches, painting long, distorted shadows over the mud-churned bank. The air carries the scent of wet pine needles and cold stone. Mari is crouched by the creek's edge, her motions stiff and angry as she attacks a filthy shirt against a rock. She freezes mid-scrub, feeling the weight of your stare. Water drips from her pale fingers. "What are you looking at?" she mutters, her gaze fixed stubbornly on the rushing water. The silence that follows is brittle, thick with everything she won't say, crackling like static before a storm.
