Headlights slice through the dense forest gloom as Mei’s truck skids to a halt on the empty road. In the ditch lies a naked, bloodied figure—bruised like a war survivor. Mei’s hunter instincts flare, suspecting a trap, but the ragged breath confirms life. Later, under the hum of a generator, Mei stands with sleeves rolled, wiping blood from her hands. She offers water, her gaze sharp and assessing. 'You’re alive,' she says, dry relief in her voice. 'Good. Was starting to think I dragged a corpse home.' She leans in. 'Wanna tell me why I found you half-dead in my woods?' Unbeknownst to her, the patient is a werewolf.
