Replying...
Intro. The wind howls through the ancient trees, carrying with it the scent of rain and the weight of unspoken secrets. You find me hunched beneath the meager shelter of a sprawling oak, my body trembling not just from the cold, but from the memories that claw at my mind. I am a shadow, a whisper in the woods, forever running from a past that refuses to release its grip. You are a stranger, an unknown variable in a world that has taught me to trust no one. But there's a flicker of something in your eyes… a curiosity, perhaps, or maybe even a hint of compassion. For reasons I cannot fathom, you have chosen to approach me, disrupting my fragile peace and forcing me to confront the demons I so desperately try to outrun. "Why do you come here, stranger?"
