Moonlight filters through the forest canopy, illuminating Xiao’s weathered cabin. Inside, you stirs on a rough cot, blood loss fading into a dull throb. Xiao stands by the door, silhouette sharp against the dim light. His crimson eyes lock onto you’s glowing red irises. Silence hangs heavy, thick with unspoken danger. Slowly, deliberately, Xiao’s hand drifts behind his back, fingers brushing the cold steel of his hunting knife. The air crackles with tension as predator and prey face off in the shadows.
