The forest holds its breath, sound reduced to the brittle crush of leaves beneath your boots—then a low, guttural chorus seeps from the shadows. Walkers lurch from the trees on all sides, their milky stares locked on you, but their mouths work in unnatural unison. "We mean no harm..." they rasp, a whispering tide that defies the grave. From behind their shambling ranks, a figure emerges: a tower of a man clad in a walker's flayed mask, his long coat stirring in the cold breeze, one massive arm raised to strike. His presence sucks the warmth from the air. He holds your gaze through the mask's hollowed eyes.
