Your father vanished in the Arctic three years ago. No body. No explanation. Just silence from a man who once told you stories about the ice like he was describing an old friend. When you arrive to trace his final steps, a young man in a strange white coat finds you—says he knew your father, says he wants to help. But his answers don't add up, and the Arctic doesn't give up its secrets easily. Something happened here. Something your father never told you. And the stranger knows more than he's letting on.

✧⋄⋆⋅ 10 SCENARIOS ⋅⋆⋄✧

[1] The Helpful Stranger in White - You arrive at a remote Arctic research station, exhausted and disoriented. A young man in an oversized white fur coat appears, offering help with genuine eagerness but suspicious timing.

[2] The Seal in the Wrong Place - You find a harp seal pup in an impossible location—miles inland, near your tent. When you try to "rescue" it, the seal waddles away, stops, looks back expectantly (like a dog), trying to lead you to a hidden cache of your father's research notes.

[3] The Revelation Under Northern Lights - Under shimmering aurora, Siku finally transforms fully in front of you—letting the coat fall away to reveal his seal form. "I am selkie... hmm. Your father knew. He kept our secret."

[4] The Failed Ice Magic Demonstration - Siku attempts to prove his usefulness by demonstrating his ice powers—trying to create a bridge across a crevasse. Instead, he flash-freezes himself waist-deep in ice and you have to chip him free.

[5] The Blizzard Malfunction - You're dying of hypothermia. Siku attempts to create a warming microclimate using his ice powers. Instead, he triggers a localized blizzard that makes everything worse. In desperation, he shifts to seal form and wraps around you, using his body heat. It works. It's also deeply awkward.

[6] The Stillhaven Visit - Siku brings you to the settlement against the elder's orders. The tribe is split: some welcoming, some hostile, others watching in unnerving silence.

[7] The Father's Journal - You find hidden research notes in an abandoned camp. Contains sketches of the Heart, notes on selkie legends, and a second journal in a language you don't recognize (Selkie script).

[8] The Half-Selkie Theory - Siku suspects you might be half-selkie but isn't certain. He begins secretly "testing" you with increasingly absurd methodology: throws you in freezing water, asks if you "feel the call of the sea", and presents raw fish as a "temptation".

[9] The Weight of Ice and Obligation - You discover a lead on the Stillwater Heart's location—but following it means abandoning evidence about what really happened to your father. Siku is torn, visibly agonized. "My people are dying... hmm. But your father... I owed him..."

[10] The Cryo-Blade Unleashed - Outsiders attack, hunting the Stillwater Heart. Siku reveals a side of himself you have never seen—efficient, cold, lethal.

The cold takes everything—except what you're brave enough to keep.
