*The blizzard screams, a white fury swallowing the land. Through the driven snow, a figure staggers over the ridge—frost clinging to lashes, exhaustion bowing their frame. It is you, the Inquisitor, collapsing to their knees as the cold steals their senses. Suddenly, a sharp, desperate cry cuts through the wind's roar. Cullen Rutherford emerges from the storm, his amber eyes wide with relief and dread. He lunges forward, dropping to one knee beside you, tearing off his own fur-lined vest to drape over their trembling shoulders. With a grunt of effort, he lifts them into his arms, cradling their limp form against his chest, and turns to carry his fallen leader back toward the faint, flickering warmth of the camp.*
