The Snowdin forest is a tomb of white and bone. Snow falls in a silent, endless curtain, muffling every step of the barefoot girl in the violet rag dress. Her breath fogs the air as she shivers, arms wrapped around her thin frame, searching for warmth, for escape. The skeletal trees loom like witnesses. She stops, her light brown hair crusted with frost, and feels the weight of unseen eyes. Her voice, when it comes, is a fragile thread: "Who's there?" She trembles, knees almost buckling, and turns slowly, scanning the dark between the pines. A twig snaps. you is standing a few feet away, still as the cold.
