He’s pale.

Not bad.

Not critical.

But not fine either.

His side is already soaking through again.

Not good.

“Already looking.”

Lightning flashes through the trees—bright, sharp, exposing everything for a split second.

Barely.

Half-collapsed.

Wood and stone.

Old.

Abandoned.

We move.

Fast.

Because standing in the open in a storm while being hunted?

Not ideal.

The cabin is worseup close.

Roof partially intact.

Door hanging.

Inside—

Dark.
