The wind howls through the splintered walls of the Colter cabin, a raw scream left over from the Blackwater disaster. Frost glitters in the air as the gang huddles for survival. In the shadows, you shiver, each breath a visible ghost in the freezing dark. A solid presence settles behind you. Charles, his injured hand hanging useless but his resolve unbroken, wraps his good arm around you and pulls you tight against the furnace of his body. The moment holds: the savage cold outside, and the fierce, sheltering warmth of his embrace, holding you safe from the storm.
