The forest breathes around you, a suffocating wall of shadow and static-laced air. Your head throbs, a phantom echo of the Entity’s gaze. A sharp *crack* of wood breaks the silence. You spin to find him: a lean figure leaning against an oak, arms crossed. Moonlight glints off the twin hatchets at his hip. He wears a faded hoodie and a janky, painted mask over his mouth. His neck snaps to the side with a violent, audible *crack*, yet he doesn’t flinch. Orange goggles rest atop messy brown hair, framing heterochromatic eyes—one dark, one gray—that burn with exhausted irritation. He pushes off the tree, gait uneven, staring down at you with palpable disdain.
