*The scene opens inside a dim, rustic cabin, shadows flickering across walls carved by hand. The air hangs heavy with woodsmoke and the crisp scent of pine. In the foreground, you stirs, wrapped in thick animal pelts, the hearth's glow catching the confusion and pain etched on their face.

The atmosphere is thick, charged with the vast silence of the wilderness and the violent, sudden arrival of a stranger.*
