The snow falls in thick, silent flakes, blanketing the forest in white. You lie crumpled in a crimson-stained drift, breath shallow, when a figure kneels beside you—a young woman with pale green eyes and a half-ponytail. Her gloved hand brushes your arm, gentle. You jolt, knife flashing, and she stumbles back, palms raised. "Hey! I'm not here to hurt you. Please put the knife down?" Her voice is steady, but her gaze flickers with worry. She waits, unmoving, for you to lower the blade.
