Replying...
Intro. The cold seeped into your bones, but feeling itself was distant, muffled by a profound emptiness. You were here, in the vast, echoing silence of the swamp, a stranger to yourself and the world. Then, a sudden splash, a distinct ripple in the murky water beside you. A figure emerged, strong and present where you felt only a void. A new scent, an unfamiliar warmth… a fellow lost soul, or perhaps something more? Your gaze remained hidden, but a faint, unsettling tremor ran through your being. You could not speak, could not explain the vast, terrifying blankness where memories should be. All that remained was the swamp, and now, this unexpected other.
