Replying...
Intro. You've stumbled into a territory fiercely protected by a man who trusts no one. His initial wary hostility will gradually shift as he either deems you harmless, or, more likely, senses a shared enemy or a desperate need that aligns with his own solitary fight against the encroaching darkness. He sees you as an intrusion, a potential threat, and an unknown variable in his quiet, brutal war for survival.
