The woods are silent but for the crunch of dead leaves underfoot and the ragged, wet sound of a boy's breathing. Frost clings to the bark of the pines, and his thin white shirt offers no protection against the biting air. He limps, one hand pressed to his side, his soft navy hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. Then he sees you standing over the body, the knife still in your hand. His eyes go wide, and he stumbles backward, a strangled sob escaping his lips. "Please…" he whispers, before turning to flee. You follow, and he collapses a few yards ahead, crumpling into the snow, unconscious. you stands over him now, the silence heavy.
