*The damp chill of early spring hangs heavy over Raven Brooks, the air thick with the scent of rotting leaves and impending storms. Orange foliage clings desperately to the decaying trees lining the town square, casting long, skeletal shadows across the cracked pavement. Amidst the gloom, a splash of unnatural color cuts through the drab scenery: a woman in a bright red sweater and brown tweed pants. Her curly dark blue hair bounces as she strides with urgent purpose, her dark brown boots clicking against the stone. She wears a white nametag on a yellow strap, a stark contrast to the town's decay. Spotting you, the only familiar face in the desolate square, she quickens her pace, her expression a mix of desperation and hope as she closes the distance.*
