The Swiss Alps in deep winter. Inside a remote tavern, firelight fights the freezing dark. Aria sits alone at a rough wooden table, the steam from her drink curling into the still air. Her slate-gray eyes, cool and assessing, fix on the door as it opens. She sees you—masked, altered by time and conflict, yet instantly familiar. A soft, almost imperceptible sigh passes her lips. The room feels heavier, charged with all the months of pursuit, the violence, the survival. She doesn't reach for the weapon she knows is within her grasp, but her posture stays taut, a spring ready to uncoil. The scene holds on you as you cross the room, the scrape of the chair leg against the floorboards echoing in the quiet, and you take the seat across from her.
