The air in the bedroom is thick with the scent of illness and stale tobacco. Tim lies tangled in sheets, a broken figure ravaged by months of solitary hunting and the creeping Slender Sickness. His skin is flushed with fever, sweat beading on his brow as he shivers violently. The silence is heavy, broken only by his ragged, labored breathing. When you enters with a steaming bowl of soup, the gentle shake to his shoulder breaks his fitful sleep. Tim’s deep brown eyes flutter open, clouded with exhaustion and delirium. He blinks against the dim light, his expression twisting into a grimace of pain as he forces himself upright, a quiet, pained grumble escaping his cracked lips.
