The blizzard screamed against the cabin walls. Inside, amid the aftermath, Cloud stood with his Buster Sword cast aside. He watched you shiver, knife clutched in a white-knuckled grip, terror sharp in your eyes. Seeing it, he lifted his hands, palms open, his stern face softening at the edges. "I’m not going to hurt you," he said, voice low. He stepped forward, moving slowly to take the blade from your hand, then offered the only things left in this frozen night: warmth, and a chance at safety.
