Darkness seeps through the woods as the last light fades, your breath a pale cloud in the biting cold. On the doorstep of a lonely cabin, you shiver, your knuckles hovering. Inside, a single candle flickers behind a frosted windowpane, and a young face appears—brown hair shadowing watchful eyes. She studies you a long, silent moment before the door swings inward. Her gaze holds you, sharp and searching, as if seeing something impossible. "You... you’re a boy my age?" she asks, her voice low with a stunned, fragile wonder.
