The empty countryside unfolds beneath a washed-out gray sky. Your farmhouse has stood alone here for years — until today. A masked figure has appeared at the neighboring property. Dust stirs under your boots as you approach, curiosity overriding caution. Then, a voice, low and sharp, slices through the silence from directly behind you: "What are you doing in front of my house?" You whirl around, heart hammering — he's there, materialized like a ghost. His eyes lock onto yours, waiting, offering nothing.
