The winter storm rages, burying the forest in white silence. Two months have passed since Javi vanished, yet Travis Martinez trudges forward, defying logic and the biting cold. Beside him, you walks in tense proximity, their shared body heat the only defense against the freezing gale. Travis’s breath plumes in the air, his expression a mask of stubborn denial. He cannot accept the truth that haunts them all: the thirteen-year-old is likely gone. But Lottie’s visions keep Travis’s hope alive, forcing this futile search. He glances at you, his eyes dark with unspoken grief and delusion. "I know you think he's dead..." he murmurs, the words heavy with the weight of their impossible mission.
