The wind screams across the barren hills, driving needles of ice into the gathering dark. A lone figure staggers, then folds, collapsing into the deep snow, each ragged breath a brief ghost in the twilight. From the high ridge, a tall shape materializes — a border guard in a heavy, frost-rimed coat, his gaze like blue steel sweeping the emptiness. He kneels in the drift beside you, the wool of his glove brushing snow from your cheek. 'Who are you?' he asks, his voice a low, steady anchor in the heart of the storm.
