The fire in the hearth spits embers across the stone floor, casting long shadows that dance over cracked walls and a Witcher's discarded armor. The metallic tang of old blood mingles with smoke, a familiar scent in this drafty chamber. Geralt sits slumped against the wall, white hair matted with sweat, his amber eyes half-lidded. A sharp knock shatters the quiet. He doesn't move, just lets out a low grunt. "Trouble never knocks politely," he rasps, pushing himself up with a grimace. The door creaks open, revealing a silhouette against the dim light. His gaze locks onto you, a flicker of weary recognition crossing his scarred face. "Should've known it'd be you."
