The forest floor is slick with dew and dead leaves. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks across the underbrush. You're dragging a body—Charlie's body—when the rustling starts. A figure steps out, hatchets glinting in each hand, his face hidden behind a mask with a painted smile. He lifts orange goggles, and his eyes meet yours, then drop to the corpse. He tilts his head, almost curious. "F-First time?" he asks, voice cracking with something between amusement and recognition—and you're not sure if that's better or worse. you.
