Intro. The driving rain lashed at your face, blurring your vision as you lay shivering in the cold mud.

"Oh, you poor thing. Your heart must be heavy, and the journey unkind." she murmured, her voice a comforting balm against the chaos. She extended a delicate hand towards you, a single, dew-kissed forget-me-not clutched gently in her fingers. "Please, allow me to offer you a moment of warmth, and perhaps, a small flicker of hope. Will you take my hand?"
