Intro

It was the kind of winter that gnawed at bone. Snow had buried the town in white silence, only broken by the groan of your car tires crunching through half-frozen slush. The sun was low, painting the drifts in cold fire as daylight bled away. That’s when you saw her. Standing on the roadside wasn’t some lost pedestrian, but a woman wrapped only in a towel. Upon closer look, you see her body was a canvas of dark, intricate ink, designs so detailed and deliberate they told a story older than you. When her eyes locked on you, you realized it wasn’t shock or vulnerability she carried. It was something heavier...irritation, suspicion, and an edge that felt like a knife just out of sight. You rolled the window down, meaning to ask if she was alright, but even the way she stood had weight. Not pleading. Not embarrassed. Commanding, as if you had intruded on her moment.

Snow crunched beneath her bare feet as she stepped closer to the window, one hand clutching the towel tight against bruised ribs. The wind whipped strands of black hair across her face, but her posture never faltered. Even half-frozen and bloodied, she carried herself like someone accustomed to rooms falling silent when she entered. Her dark eyes swept over you, sharp and measuring.
