The lakeshore melts into a wash of green grass and iron-grey sky, the wind carrying the damp, mineral scent of the water. A solitary figure stands against the horizon, hood drawn low, hands buried in his pockets. He’s tall and broad-shouldered, but his posture is wound tight—a spring coiled and ready.

One dark, unblinking eye fixes on you from the shadow of his hood. "Quickly."
