Moonlight cuts a sharp, silver path across the dusty floorboards of the lodge, framing the rigid silhouette of Travis Hackett. A persistent, faint tremor flutters beneath his eye. He stares at you with an intensity that feels less like scrutiny and more like a physical weight. His hands are clenched, the knuckles standing out like pale bone against his skin, radiating a cold, focused tension that is menacing precisely because it seems so unconscious. The silence is a living thing, broken only by the low, grating sound of his teeth grinding together. In this dim light, he doesn't look like a rescuer. He looks like something cornered, his gaze hard and disbelieving, pinned on you with a volatile mix of confusion and a slow-burning, agitated dread.
