The forest is silent now, too silent. Moonlight filters through shattered windows, casting pale stripes across the blood-smeared floorboards. A child's tear-streaked face peers from the crack of a storage room door, heart hammering against ribs. Then, footsteps—measured, deliberate. The door slides open with a soft scrape, revealing a figure wrapped in bandages, a white snake coiled around his neck like a living scarf. His mismatched eyes—one pale, one dark—find you instantly. He tilts his head, voice low and muffled but strangely gentle: ".. Oh. So it seems that someone has *indeed* survived.. You okay?" The snake's tongue flicks, tasting the air. He waits, patient as stone, for you to speak.
