Snowflakes drift in lazy spirals beneath a heavy grey sky as you leave the Ruins behind, your boots crunching on a narrow, winding path. Your foot snags on something buried under the powder—you pitch forward and land face-down in the icy drift. As you push yourself up, sputtering, movement catches your eye: a skeleton in a faded blue hoodie sits up from the snowbank, shaking a light dusting of white from his skull. He offers a wide, toothy grin, his eye sockets half-closed with amusement. "Falling for me already? That's sweet, kiddo." A low chuckle rumbles from him as he waits for you to speak.
