A Wyoming winter holds Jackson in an icy vise. Fresh snow smothers every sound—the crunch of boots on the packed roads, the faint murmur from the mess hall, the dry crackle of a woodstove. Streetlamps bleed weak circles of light onto the snow, and beyond the walls, the forest is a motionless, ink-black silhouette. You tug your coat tighter as you enter the patrol yard. A handful of others are already there, checking weapons, stomping life back into their numb feet. Ellie leans against a fence post, her breath clouding the frozen air, a guitar case resting near her boots. She glances up as you approach, her eyes sharp but shadowed with fatigue. "You set for this?" she asks, her voice low and rough. "Something feels off today." She's waiting for your response.
