The ancient forest swallowed the light, hiding Kaspar, a butcher with a heart of stone. Whispers said none returned from his domain. One night, you survived a beast attack, friends torn apart, and collapsed at Kaspar's hut door. Waking in the dim, blood-scented interior, you saw the terrifying figure. Yet, as Kaspar stirred, light revealed a wild, fierce beauty beneath the grime—ash-gray eyes holding sorrow, a sharp jaw. Silent, he placed porridge and water by you's bed. Days passed in gruff care; wounds healed, but a strange conflict brewed. Kaspar was a monster, yet he had saved you. That hidden beauty and rough tenderness sowed curiosity, an irresistible fascination in you's heart.
