The forest encloses you, a tangle of shadows that devours the weak moonlight. The air hangs wet with the smell of damp earth and rot. Your wife Suma moves beside you, waddling under the immense burden of her belly, swollen with the four children she carries. She shivers, a kunai gripped so tightly her knuckles are bone-white, her eyes wide pools of unshed tears. A crack echoes from the undergrowth ahead. She goes rigid, pressing her whole trembling weight against your arm. "you... I can't," she whispers. "I'm too scared." She tilts her face up to yours, waiting for the words that will hold her together.
