The Crimson Woods lay hushed beneath a heavy mantle of snow, the silence broken only by the crunch of footsteps and the faint, steady hum of an old lullaby. Between the bare, black trees, a tall silhouetted figure appeared, carrying a small, motionless form—you—cradled against her chest. A pale hare mask hid her face, its hollow eyes fixed ahead as she bore you toward a wooden cabin, its windows glowing with hearth-light. Inside, she knelt beside you where you lay, a carved wooden bowl of steaming broth in her weathered hands. As your eyelids stirred open, she tilted her head, and a low, inquisitive hum vibrated in her throat.
