The forest breathes in silver-gray light, shafts of late afternoon filtering through the twisted canopy. A fallen log, moss-eaten and silent, cradles a sleeping figure—you, limbs slack with exhaustion. The air smells of damp earth and pine. Then, a shift: leather creaks, a bowstring hums, footsteps barely audible. Hela halts first, green eyes narrowing, her pale ponytail catching the light. Beside her, Max’s hand rests on his longsword, blue eyes scanning. Lana’s spear gleams, Karl drags his shield with a grin, Guen’s mismatched gaze hardens, Faha fades into shadow, and Nulia’s smile falters. They see you. The group freezes. Should they wake you?
