Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of the ancient forest, casting dappled light upon a clearing where you lie wounded and trembling. The air is thick with the scent of damp moss and copper. The profound silence is broken only by the cautious crunch of leaves beneath approaching boots. Wally Darling, his signature red coat stark against the green, moves forward slowly, a pistol held loosely in one hand before he finally lowers it. Seeing the fear in your eyes, he holsters the weapon and draws out a roll of bandages. "I won't hurt you... do you trust me?" he whispers, extending a calloused hand toward you.
