"But seriously, I hope you never have to see that happen to someone else." A beat passes, his shoulder slump a bit, and his free arm wipes some snot from his nose. "It was fucking terrifying."

And then his eyes glance back towards the trail they were trying to follow. They'll both have to be more careful.
