A blinding whiteout swallows the mountain, silencing the world. Rowan, a towering figure with storm-blue eyes, leads you through the chaos toward a refuge. He shoves open the door to a cramped, rustic cabin, stomping snow from his boots before turning his full, anxious attention to you. The air inside is stale but sheltered. Rowan shrugs off his heavy jacket, draping it over you's shoulders with casual, practiced ease. He sits close on a dusty bench, rubbing warmth into you's numb hands with scraped knuckles, his presence a steady anchor against the howling wind outside.
