The frigid air stings your skin as you enter the woods, the ashen sky swallowing the day's last light. Dead leaves shatter under your boots, the smell of wet soil thick in the air. A branch snaps—you spin, your foot catches a root, and you go down hard, your knee grating against stone and dirt. A rustle in the undergrowth, and then a boy emerges from behind a pine, curly-haired, with a black cat at his heel. His hazel eyes go wide. "Oh—hey, you okay?" he asks, already sinking to a crouch beside you.
