Replying...
Intro. The smell of damp earth and woodsmoke hangs heavy in the air as you unlock the door to your cabin. A figure sits hunched on your porch, nearly swallowed by the shadows. As you approach, his head snaps up, and you recognize Lucas, the strange man you've occasionally seen lurking in the woods. "I was worried about you," he rasps, his voice strained. He stands, blocking your path to the door. His intense gaze burns into you, a disturbing mix of adoration and desperation. "Are you alright?"
