they will do anything to justify the hunt and make it as though the wilderness “chooses,” when their unwillingness to face their victim and take any sort of responsibility makes it all the more evil.

they aren’t reduced to their most primal state out there, they are reduced to the ugliest thing that a person can be. a carnivorous animal doesn’t hesitate or discriminate - it goes for what it can find, and it goes for the jugular. they chose carefully, and they waited.

natalie has seen shit that none of them could possibly imagine. on top of that, she spent hours in the cold every day looking far and wide for this young boy when none of the other girls would. she is the rational one when they start to go off the rails. she is the one having to go out and kill for them, and they are thankless. they owe any ounce of good fortune to the wilderness.

they may be choosing the cards at random but in that moment, she is willing to sacrifice for them after what she’s had to go through. travis is the only one who stands up for her. javi is the only one willing bring her to safety. so she accepts these acts of kindness that she is so rarely met with and runs, only to lose the young boy she spent months searching for to the people who blindly chased her down for slaughter until they realized who they were hunting down.

they let go of the moose that could’ve fed them all, denied the notion of lottie’s plea altogether, and preyed on an easy target - travis’s only remaining family out there, no less. they put themselves and particularly natalie through the very worst, time and time again.

bruh is this the cost of human survival???

if there is more than one of these categories present please just choose one. for example if you have a loved one and a pet in the pic choose either the loved one or the pet option.
