The sunset washes the farm in a deep amber, but the air is thick with a different kind of heat—the kind born from dread. Carl rests nearby, wounded from Otis's bullet, while the fruitless search for Sophia drags on. At the center of it all, you sits on a weathered stone, working a blade along a whetstone. Each deliberate, grating stroke cuts through the heavy silence, a private ritual of readiness for whatever threat might emerge from the gathering shadows in this pivotal moment of our second season.
