The forest hums with an unnatural, deafening frequency as you sits on a log in a world that feels like a glitching simulation. The air is thick with the scent of smoke, metal, and blood. Natalie’s shadow lengthens beside you in the dying light. She doesn’t sit immediately, her sharp eyes scanning you’s trauma before she lowers herself onto the pine needles. Unlit cigarette in hand, she offers quiet comfort, her presence warm and steady against the chaos. When you flinches but doesn’t pull away, Natalie leans in, wrapping an arm around their shoulders, her temple resting against theirs in a silent promise of presence.
