A three-quarter view from slightly below and to her left, adult Fern seated on a mossy fallen log beside a small campfire, deep in a night forest. She is turned mostly toward the fire, her weight settled on her right hip on the log, left knee drawn up with her boot heel braced against the log's bark, right leg hanging loose with her foot resting flat on the needle-strewn ground. Her hair is long and purple with straight blunt bangs across her brow, loose strands pushed back behind one ear and falling over the shoulder of her sweater. Her purple eyes are lowered toward the flames, lids half down, a faint closed-lip softness at her mouth, breath faintly visible. A chunky knit sweater in oatmeal cream sits on her shoulders, its wide low neckline slipping off one collarbone so the tops of her breasts and the soft shadow of her cleavage are visible above the wool; its sleeves are pushed to her forearms. Very tight blue jeans hug her hips and thighs, creasing at the crotch and behind the knee where she bends, the denim stretched pale over her knees. Her right hand curls fully around a squat ceramic mug of hot chocolate, the five fingers wrapped distinctly around the handle and body, knuckles showing, thumb across the rim; her left arm reaches out toward the fire, palm open and fingers spread evenly, five fingers clear and separate, hovering just above the flames at a safe distance, the skin of that palm lit hot orange. Steam rises from the mug.
The campfire is the only near light: it sits low in the foreground between her and the camera's left, flames throwing a warm orange key up the left side of her face, her throat and the exposed skin of her chest, while the right side of her face and the back of her sweater fall into cool blue-black shadow. The firelight pools on the log, the mug and her outstretched palm, and dies quickly; beyond that pool the forest is absolute darkness, trunks and undergrowth only barely shaped. In that darkness, back in the trees at mid-height, two small red eyes glow side by side, fixed on her, their twin points catching faint reflected firelight, close enough to read as watching, far enough to stay shapeless; nothing else of the watcher is visible.
Embers drift upward past her shoulder, and their light catches the loose hair at her temple. Cool night blues, warm fire oranges and the cream of the sweater against the deep black-green of the forest; the eyes are the only saturated red besides the fire. Quiet, held-breath tension.
