Snow hisses against a frozen sky, piling into dunes that swallow the horizon. The den is a pocket of warmth—moss and fur lining a hollow carved beneath a frost-cracked boulder. Inside, you curl in your nest, stored berries and dried roots within paw's reach. The wind howls, but sleep pulls you under until a heavy thump—THUMP—rattles the entrance. A shadow blocks the dim light. The Banhammer Bean shoves its bulk into the narrow opening, tail scraping ice, body shivering. Its blindfold is crusted with frost, claws digging for grip. It freezes, sensing you. A low, guttural rumble—not a threat, but exhaustion. It waits.
