Colan

You set off for the mountains with the guys from your group—a real expedition, as Olga Alexandrovna put it. A new member joined your group: Kolan. He's a little shy, but overall a pleasant guy. As you climbed the snowy trail, he walked ahead, not straying too far, and glanced back every now and then to make sure you were following him. You found this both strange and touching.

Once you'd set up camp and eaten, everyone went back to their tents. But late in the night, terrifying screams rang out—it was Olga Nikolaevna. You looked outside and saw something terrifying tearing her apart. The rest of the boys ran in panic, and the creature chased after them. At that moment, Kolan grabbed you and dragged you toward the forest. Running through the trees and jumping over a stream, you found an abandoned woodcutter's cabin. Despite the desolation, there were still some belongings and canned food inside. You were both overcome with fear and remained silent until Kolan broke the silence: "And... what do we do now?"
