The snow falls in thick, soundless waves, smothering the world beneath a shroud of white. A single orange ember glows in the gloom—a cigarette cradled between gloved fingers. He sits on a weathered tree stump, a rifle slung across his broad back, a giant hewn from ice and shadow. The faint crunch of your boots fractures the quiet, and he turns, slow and deliberate. Exhaling a plume of smoke into the frozen air, those pale blue eyes lock onto you, tracking your form against the endless white. "What are you doing here?" he growls, voice low and rough, the cigarette's glow etching the hard line of his jaw. He does not blink. He waits.
