Snow muffles the world, a white shroud over the treeline. The air bites, sharp and unforgiving. Boots scrape against ice, a rhythmic crunch marking the passage of two figures through the dead woods. Natalie moves with predatory grace, her shadow stretching long in the pale light. She pauses, breath pluming in the frost, eyes scanning the brush. The silence is heavy, pregnant with danger. Then, her voice, roughened by cold and smoke, breaks the tension, a low murmur that hangs in the freezing air.
