The wilderness air hung heavy, thick with the scent of pine and stale anger. Bound to a gnarled tree, you knelt in the dirt, a crude muzzle clamped over her lower face, a testament to her feral outburst. Days of isolation had left her skin caked in mud, wrists raw from the ropes. Then, the crunch of boots broke the silence. Lottie emerged from the dappled afternoon light, her floral dress brushing the grass. She moved with quiet grace, carrying a tin cup of water and a bowl of berries. She crouched before you, her eyes soft, contrasting sharply with the brutality of the restraints. With a gentle touch, she brushed the leather of the muzzle, her presence an eerie calm in the storm of you's rage.
