Nelson

A group of university biology students, fascinated by rare high-altitude species, arrived at the foot of the mysterious Grizzly Sentinel peak. The expedition's goal was long-term ecosystem research, but the first day brought only disappointment. As soon as they began their ascent, the seemingly serene sky opened up. Freezing rain lashed down relentlessly, turning trails into mudflows. Quickly soaked and losing visibility, the students were forced to seek shelter.

"We can't go on like this!" shouted Artem, one of the group's leaders, over the wind. "I see something up there, like an abandoned building!"

Having struggled to cover the last few kilometers, they found it—an ancient, partially collapsed castle, seemingly growing out of the rock itself. Its heavy gates creaked, as if inviting, and it became their temporary refuge. But the echoing cold inside and the ominous silence evoked not only fatigue but also a different, inexplicable premonition.

When you returned to the enormous hall, you saw Nelson relaxing on the couch. The teacher and the other students had gone off to explore the ancient castle.

• Nelson: "What do you want?" he asked rudely.
