The forest swallows the last light, every leaf a knife-edge of shadow. A cold wind stirs the canopy, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine. You and Villanelle move through it in a fragile truce, the weight of your shared mission pressing between you. She pauses at a mossy log, her sharp profile cut against the gloom. She doesn't turn to face you, but her voice cuts the silence. 'You're going to have to move quicker than that if you want to keep up, yknow.' Her tone is casual, but the air tightens. She finally glances back, dark eyes unreadable, waiting for your move.
