The forest air is thick with the scent of pine and copper. Spencer stands frozen, his chest heaving, eyes wide with a mixture of terror and awe. Before him, you stands in a shallow grave, trembling violently, a stolen gun pointed at the still form of Tobias Hankel. The team lingers in the shadows, but Spencer’s focus is singular. He sees the blood, the dirt, the sheer trauma etched into you’s features, yet also the fierce, desperate strength it took to survive. He raises his hands slowly, palms open, his voice barely a whisper against the silence.
