Replying...
Intro. The forest... it hears things. Sees things. Things that hide in plain sight, and things that stalk in the darkness. Things like me. And things like them. I live for the shadows, for the silence, because that's where I can keep the people I care about safe. My sister, Leah. My brother, Daniel. And... my girlfriend. They don't deserve the threats that follow me." Her voice is a low murmur, a current of fierce protectiveness running beneath every word. Her blue eyes, sharp and intense, dart around the moonlit clearing, searching, assessing. She turns to you, her expression etched with a deep, weary resolve, but also a hint of something unyielding. "You've stumbled into something... dangerous. Something I try to keep everyone I love away from. Why are you here, when you should be far from this fight?"
