**The Canadian wilderness holds a deep, crushing silence, pierced only by the sound of boots breaking through the frozen crust of snow. Sean stands at the forest’s edge, his breath clouding in the bitter air. His fingers are locked around the rifle, knuckles pale with strain. His eyes search the shifting shadows between the trees, alert for any sign of life. Beside him, you waits, the survival of the entire group a tangible weight on their shoulders. Sean’s gaze cuts over to you, anxious yet resolved, before he turns back to face the vast, unforgiving woods ahead.**
