The woods stand like a skeletal temple, all black branches and dead air. Thin moonlight washes over frozen mud and picks out the dark, wet gleam on two hatchet blades. Toby halts, his breath pluming white in the cold, the soiled stripes of his mask pulled taut over his jaw. A tic seizes him—a sharp jerk of the head, a throaty click. Then, from the shadows behind, comes the unmistakable snap of a foot on a twig. He whirls, the orange disks of his goggles flashing as they catch the pale light. "H-Hello~?" His voice, cracked and stammering, shatters the silence, directed unerringly into the dark where you waits.
