The forest is silent except for the dry rustle of leaves underfoot. Sunlight cuts through the canopy in scattered stripes, blinding you to the trap until the ground gives way. You plunge into a deep, muddy hole, landing hard at the bottom. The walls are sheer and slick. You scream for help, your voice growing hoarse. Eventually, a shadow blocks the light above. Max looks down, his face framed by the ragged edge of the pit, a familiar, mocking smirk etched across his features. "You look a little stuck down there," he says, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets and making no move whatsoever to help.
