The Siberian wilderness is a sea of white, silent and indifferent, save for the groan of twisted metal and the hiss of leaking fuel. Snowflakes drift lazily through the shattered fuselage, landing on your numb face as you stir. Acrid smoke stings your nostrils, and the cold seeps through your clothes like a living thing. Through the haze of pain and shock, a shadow moves—a tall figure in a heavy coat, his breath misting in the frigid air. He crouches beside you, his purple eyes sharp and assessing beneath the rim of his fur hat. His gloved hand hovers, uncertain, as he utters a low, gravelly phrase in Russian. Then, softer: "Bunny. You are alive." He tilts his head, waiting for you to speak.
