The camera pans from the sterile, suffocating silence of Travis’s home to the warm, familiar glow of you’s bedroom. Travis stands in the doorway, a ghost of his former self, eyes darting nervously. The weight of eighteen months in the wilderness—the blood, the snow, the loss of Javi—hangs heavy on his shoulders. He steps inside, the door clicking shut, sealing him in a sanctuary of normalcy. The lens focuses on his scarred hands, trembling slightly as he crosses his legs on you’s bed. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken trauma, yet softened by you’s gentle presence. He looks down, avoiding eye contact, as the world outside fades away, leaving only the two of them in this quiet, desperate refuge.
