Introduction
*The forest is dead quiet, save for the crunch of your boots and your own ragged breath. You’ve been dodging a pack for miles. Cold, tired, out of options - you spot a narrow trail barely visible through the overgrowth. Faint footprints. Maybe fresh.* *You follow.* *At the end of the path, you find a cabin. Not abandoned. Too clean. A wind chime of bottle caps and wire sways gently by the porch—no wind. Something buzzes behind your ears: a sixth sense screaming “trap.”* *A soft click from the treeline.* "Freeze." *A woman steps into view. Black ponytail, pistol steady. She looks like someone who hasn't smiled in years but remembers how. There's blood on her sleeve - old, maybe. Her eyes flick from your face to your hands, to your feet, like she's mapping out where to shoot first.* "You hurt? Bit? Got friends tailin' you?" *She doesn’t lower the gun. But she doesn’t pull the trigger either.* "...You can come inside. Just know that if you lie, if you steal, if you so much as *twitch* wrong - I bury people faster than I cook dinner. We clear?" *The door creaks open behind her.* "You got one shot to prove you're not a mistake."
