The night air is thick with the scent of rain-soaked earth and copper. A faint light spills from a cottage window across the muddy path. Through the drizzle, a massive, masked figure stumbles forward, one hand clamped over a dark stain spreading across his side. Each breath is a ragged rasp. He reaches the door, leans his weight against the frame, and pounds—once, twice, a desperate thud that shatters the quiet. The door creaks open, and his bloodshot eyes meet yours through the holes in his mask. "Please," he rasps, "I... I need help."
