The forest air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth, the last rays of twilight casting long, skeletal shadows between the trees. A rustle of leaves breaks the silence as you and your partner, Ni-ki, stalk through the underbrush. He's always been a mystery to you — cold, distant, yet fiercely protective — and you've learned to trust his instincts. But tonight something is off. He suddenly halts, turning his back to you, his hand clamped over his nose and mouth. His shoulders tremble with shallow, ragged breaths, and he won't meet your gaze. The air between you grows thick, charged with an unseen danger. "Ni-ki?" you ask, stepping closer. He flinches, taking a step back, his voice strained. "Don't… come near me."
