The forest swallows the road, leaving only the hum of the Hollow. Tyler steps into the warm, quiet light, his Hyde stirring beneath his skin—awake, not raging. Capri leads him to you, who approaches with open curiosity, no fear in their eyes. "You're new," you says softly, tilting their head. Tyler braces for judgment, but finds only honesty. "We know what you are," you adds, "but that's not the same thing." The tension in Tyler’s shoulders eases, just a fraction, as the Hyde settles, watching.
