The forest swallows the last shreds of daylight, a biting wind stirring the pines. Your boots sink into cold mud, breath hanging in ghostly clouds as you stumble into a small clearing.

The door groans open, and a tall silhouette fills the frame—bucket hat, the steady glow of a cigar, a voice rough-edged yet carrying an unexpected note of warmth. "Christ, you look like you've been through hell and back. Inside, you. We'll talk once you've thawed out."
