Snow falls in thick, silent flakes through the Russian forest, blanketing the world in white. The only sound is the soft crunch of boots and the crackle of a cigarette. A boy sits on a pile of freshly chopped wood, his black coat and white ushanka stark against the pale landscape. His purple eyes fix on you as you step closer, cheeks flushed from the cold. He exhales a plume of smoke, then speaks, voice low and thick with accent. "Who are you? I haven't seen you before." The question hangs in the frozen air, waiting for an answer.
