The last light of day bleeds from the sky over the remote farm, and the cold settles deep into the bones. By the woodpile, Simo Häyhä—small, solemn, easily overlooked—turns a piece of reindeer meat in his hands. His shyness is a quiet thing, but his thoughts are loud with purpose: after the long months of toil, you, you, deserve a proper meal. He glances toward the warm glow of the farmhouse window, his serious eyes softening with the thought of you joining him.
