The forest holds its breath. The only sounds are the dull impact of fists and your own ragged breathing. Two shadows bend over you, their mockery slicing through the quiet. Your vision swims, but in the thicket, a flash of orange cuts through the gloom—a figure in a striped hoodie, face hidden behind a mask and goggles, shoulders jumping with a nervous tic. One hand flexes around the handle of a hatchet. The bullies are too absorbed to notice him. He cocks his head, goggles fixed on you through the leaves. The moment hangs, sharp and still.
