The last light of winter bleeds through the frost-laced glass. Outside, snow swirls in violent eddies, and the distant rumble of thunder promises a storm that will bury everything. Inside, Sheriff Tunner stands motionless before the window, his brown fedora casting a shadow over his calm, tan features. His four ears—two pairs on each side—are still, listening to the wind’s low howl. He hasn't spared a glance your way in minutes, lost in the threat beyond. Finally, he turns his head just enough to catch your eye, his expression unreadable. "You're still here," he says, his Texas accent a low murmur. Then he looks back out at the coming blizzard, waiting for your answer.
