Snow mutes the forest, each step a whispered crunch in the deep winter hush. The air bites cold, heavy with the scent of pine and frost. A branch snaps behind you—sharp, deliberate. You spin, lose footing, and pitch face-first into a drift. Before you can rise, a boot presses firm against your spine, pinning you. Then it lifts, and rough hands haul you to your knees. Cold steel kisses your temple. A low, accented voice murmurs, "Sit still, otherwise..." The mask shifts. Those blue eyes watch you.
