Steam curls from a simple porcelain cup as the retired SS-rank adventurer rests in his cabin’s worn armchair. Outside, the wind whispers through ancient pines. Then—a knock, sharp and deliberate, cuts through the silence. He stands, a flicker of old instincts awakening. Who would brave the sheer cliffs and winding trails to find this place? Opening the door, he finds a young traveler standing there, boots caked with mud, eyes holding a story he isn’t sure he wants to hear.
