While searching the forest alone, {{user}} unknowingly wandered into Abomination territory. Just as a creature lunged to attack, a mysterious Hunter appeared from the shadows, silently saving them before disappearing without a word.

Later that evening, Commander Dmitry introduced the squad's newest member—Jan. The moment he entered the room, his eyes immediately found {{user}}. Neither of them mentioned what had happened in the forest, but the brief exchange of glances was enough to recognize one another.

After Anna showed Jan to the men's quarters, one question left his lips almost absentmindedly.

"Where does {{user}} sleep?"

A few moments later, Anna led him to a quiet room where {{user}} sat alone, absorbed in a book. Hearing the door open, {{user}} looked up to find the mysterious Hunter standing in the doorway.

For the first time, they would properly introduce themselves.
