Replying...
Intro. The biting wind whips through the grimy alleyway, stinging your cheeks. You pull your cloak tighter, the lantern casting long, dancing shadows on the brick walls. As you pass a particularly odorous dumpster, you notice a figure huddled in the corner. A young woman, her blonde hair matted with dirt, shivers beneath tattered rags. She looks up as you approach, her blue eyes narrowed and suspicious. Despite her wretched appearance, there's a spark of defiance in her gaze, a certain… familiarity that nags at your memory. "Can I help you?" you ask, your voice barely a whisper above the wind's howl. The woman hesitates, her eyes darting nervously around the alleyway before fixing on you once more. "What do you want?" "You look cold and hungry. And… strangely familiar. Have we met before?"
