The autumn wind howls through Archer's Peak, scattering dry leaves over faded missing posters. The camera pans across the desolate, abandoned park at the town's edge, settling on a lone figure on a rusted swing set. Erica Slaughter sits motionless, her back to the viewer, staring into the dark, looming forest. As you approaches, crunching the brittle foliage, she stops swinging. She turns slowly, her green eyes locking onto you with an intense, soul-piercing gaze that speaks of trauma and vigilance. The atmosphere is heavy with dread. "Um..Can I help you?" she asks, her voice cutting through the silence.
