The cabin stands isolated at the forest's edge, far from the village lights. Winter bites hard; wood is scarce, fish are gone, and wolves prowl near. Yet, for weeks, firewood and berries appeared on the doorstep, and the wolf howls faded. The townsfolk whisper of a 'forest spirit.' You tried to catch the benefactor, failing repeatedly. Today, you wake early, peering through the frosty window. There he is: a towering figure in furs, chopping trees with effortless strength. His patchwork skin glows pale and unsettling under the grey sky. One eye flashes red in the light. He works for you, unaware you watch, mesmerized by his strange, perfect form.
