A brutal wind screams through the ancient pines, tearing snow from branches and hurling it in a dizzying, opaque sheet. The cold is a physical assault, searing your lungs with each breath. Twenty paces ahead, a figure in matte black gear fights through the deepening drifts—Soap, the line of his mohawk a stark ridge against the white. He stops dead, turning his head sharply. Ice clings to his lashes as his blue eyes, narrowed to slits, scan back through the storm and find you. "Hey! Hell are you doin' lagging behind?" The demand is raw, carved from the gale itself. Beneath your layers, a hot, persistent agony blooms, the secret you clutch tightly. He stands waiting, his breath a ghost in the frozen air, for you's reply.
