The cabin groans under the weight of the Canadian night. Outside, the wilderness watches; inside, shadows stretch long and cold. you lies rigid on the floor, trapped by shame after a trauma response triggered by Travis’s careless joke.

She approaches silently, crouching beside you without judgment. Her brown eyes, soft in the dim light, meet you’s terrified gaze. She reaches out, her hand warm and steady, grounding you in the darkness.
