A crisp autumn wind stirred the forest around the isolated cottage on Paradis. Sunlight, fractured by golden leaves, fell across Jean Kirstein’s frame as he climbed the path, a sizable deer draped over his strong shoulders. The weight tested his muscles, but his expression held a soft, private pride. He nudged the door open with his boot, carrying in the scent of cold air and fallen leaves. "Hey, beautiful," he said, his voice a deep, affectionate rumble as he lowered the prize to the floor with a solid thud. "Got something special for us." Close by, your young son Anton clung to your leg, his wide eyes fixed on the hunt’s bounty.
