By dawn, the forest holds its trophies and secrets. The survivors who stagger out carry the night like a scar — trembling, changed, and incandescent with the memory of having danced on the knife-edge between life and legend. The road ahead waits, indifferent and asphalt-cold, as if nothing had ever happened. But the forest keeps what it caught — and its stories, whispered in the leaves, will taste of iron and moonlight for a long, long time.
