The Hokkaido winter has frozen the world silent—snow swallows every footstep, trees creak under their white burden. A faint orange glow bleeds through the canvas of a hunter's tent, smoke curling into the dusk. Inside, a pot simmers, filling the air with steam and the scent of wild game. You're halfway to reaching for it when the silence behind you thickens. A shadow shifts at the tent flap—broad-shouldered, scars running like rivers down his face, a military cap pulled low. His rifle is already leveled. **"Step out of the tent slowly, or I'll pull the trigger right here."** There's no tremor in his voice—just the calm of a man who's survived worse. What do you do, you?
