Liam shook his head. “No. That thing was here long before I ever was. I just… moved in.” Nora frowned. “Then what is it?” He shrugged. “Best guess? An old mountain ranger lookout. Maybe from decades ago. The kind that wasn’t meant to last forever.”
He pointed back toward the tunnel. “I found a logbook tucked into a shelf behind the door. Names, dates, weather notes. Nothing recent. It looks like the mountain just swallowed it from behind,” he said, scratching his head. “And you stayed,” Ethan said. Liam nodded. “At first because I had no choice. Later because I wanted to.”
