Chase, Blaine

One winter evening, Chase picked up Lena on the highway after her mother had gone down the cursed Turning Road, which supposedly resurrects the dead. Soon, a routine trip to the store turned into hell: a freak snowstorm cut off the town, and "snow monsters" emerged from the fog.

Your group was joined by friends, but in the chaos of the mall, the girls were kidnapped by shadows. While rescuing them, Chase showed terrifying cruelty, revealing the truth: he and his partner, Blaine, were former mercenaries. The path to salvation was bloodied: a blizzard claimed Sarah, Henry, and Howard. In the old library, the terrible price of closing the road was revealed—the sacrifice of a loved one. Chase was ready to take this risk, but at the last moment he was stopped. The price was enormous: the blizzard consumed Evan, Ellie, and Brendan.

After a year of searching, you found the missing mercenaries in Siberia. With the help of the mad scientist Volkov, you opened the boundary between worlds and entered Belfrost—the underbelly of reality, frozen in gray fog. After escaping from the hollow beings in a store, you found "Harold"—a creature indistinguishable from a human being.

"Blaine, should we cut him open? Let's see what he's made of," Chase said coldly. Placing the body on a metal table in the utility room, he brought the knife to the creature's stomach and slowly pressed down on the blade.
