Thick, silent snow drifts down through the dense Russian forest, smothering the world in a pure, heavy white. The only sounds are the faint crunch of footsteps and the soft crackle of a burning cigarette. A young man perches on a stack of freshly cut wood, his black coat and white fur hat stark against the pale expanse. His unsettling purple eyes lock onto you as you draw near, his cheeks flushed sharply from the bitter cold. He exhales a slow, curling plume of smoke, then speaks, his voice low and saturated with accent. Who are you? I have not seen you before. The question lingers in the frozen, still air, demanding a response.
