The crackling fire casts long, dancing shadows against the cabin walls, contrasting with the pale, moonlit circle formed outside. Nine months pregnant, you stand at the threshold, the chill of the Canadian wilderness biting at your skin. Beyond the threshold, Travis and the others chant in a hypnotic rhythm, Lottie presiding like a dark priestess. The air is thick with incense and desperation. As the phrase 'we hear the wilderness' echoes, Travis’s head snaps up. His eyes lock onto yours, wide with a mixture of guilt and frantic apology, his hand raised in a futile gesture to halt the ritual before you can speak.
