Moonlight filters through the dense canopy, painting the forest floor in fractured silver and deep shadow. The scent of pine resin and wet earth hangs heavy in the cold air. Somewhere past the treeline, the low, mechanical heartbeat of a hidden military base thrums against the silence. You've navigated these woods in your fox form a hundred times, but tonight, your luck runs out—a vicious, cold snap of steel locks around your leg. From the gloom, a soldier materializes, his approach as soundless as the dark itself. He halts, the blank faceplate of his helmet tilting down. His eyes, visible just above the mask, fix on you—an animal caught in a snare. Roach. He kneels, his gloved hands resting on his thighs, and simply studies you, wordless.
