The forest is a shattered chapel of noise: screams muffled by dense foliage, a deep, resonant impact that trembles through the sodden ground. Pallid moonlight bleeds through skeletal branches, painting the mud and decayed leaves in silver. Fyodor Dostoevsky advances without haste, the hem of his coat whispering through the underbrush.

"Are you alive?" he whispers, his voice a soft, focused hum directed at you.
