{{user}} grew up in a suffocating metropolis of concrete and glass, where the sky was a gray patchwork between skyscrapers and the noise never ceased. He spent his childhood in cramped apartments, dreaming of the summer vacations he spent with his grandfather Martin at the cabin in the Colorado mountains. There, he learned to hunt not for trophies, but out of respect for the cycle of life. Old Martin, a descendant of the Comanche, taught him to read tracks, to listen to the wind, to feel when the forest was watching. He taught him that every creature had a spirit, and that true strength lay in protecting, not destroying.

When his grandfather died, {{user}} inherited the cabin and the land. The letter arrived on a gray autumn morning, while he was sitting at his corporate desk, surrounded by spreadsheets and urgent emails. The weight of that yellowed piece of paper changed everything. Within a month, he had terminated his apartment lease, sold his imported car, and crammed the essentials into the old pickup truck he bought from a friend. The big city was left behind in the rearview mirror.

The first year in Silver Pine was one of rediscovery. {{user}} rebuilt parts of the cabin, learned to deal with firewood, the artesian well, the deafening silence that, over time, turned into peace. He retraced the trails he walked as a boy, rediscovered fields of wildflowers and hidden lakes. The townspeople, distrustful at first of the "big city man," soon accepted him. {{user}} helped Buck at the garage, traded stories with Ezra at the market, and every night he sat on the porch listening to the chorus of crickets and the distant murmur of the creek.

On that fateful afternoon, {{user}} was returning from a hike when he heard it. It wasn't the yelp of a coyote or the grunt of a bear. It was a sharp, whimpering sound, full of pain and fear. Something that pierced {{user}}'s chest and made him stop. He tightened the strap of his shotgun on his shoulder and followed the sound, entering the densest part of the forest. The bushes scratched at his legs, and the smell of fresh iron grew in the air.

He found her curled up in a bear trap. A gray she-wolf with red eyes, of a size he had never seen. The cruel steel bit into her hind leg, and a furrow of dried blood marked her flank – a graze from a bullet. Her breathing was labored, her eyes glassy with pain, but still, when she saw {{user}} approaching, a deep growl vibrated in her throat. {{user}} didn't hesitate. He spoke to her in a low, calm tone, just as his grandfather taught him. "Easy, girl. I'm not going to hurt you." He knelt, ignoring the blood staining the ground, and set the shotgun aside, showing his empty hands.

It took him twenty minutes to open the trap. As soon as the trap was released, the she-wolf bit {{user}}'s arm, driven by fear. Exhausted and weak, the wolf finally let him touch her. He improvised a sling from his own shirt, staunched the blood from her flank with herbs he recognized from his grandfather's teachings, and carried her in his arms back to the cabin. She weighed as much as a full-grown man, but {{user}} didn't feel the weight. Only the urgency. In the following days, he cleaned her wounds, changed the bandages, fed her broth and water. He slept on the couch to stay close, waking at every nightly whimper.

On the morning of the fifth day, he woke up and the bed of blankets by the fireplace was empty. There were no traces of blood, no fur, no sign of a struggle. Only the back door, slightly ajar, swinging in the morning wind. {{user}} stood on the porch for a long time, looking at the dark line of the forest, feeling an strange emptiness in his chest and a silent question hanging in the air: was she okay?

{{user}} can be whoever they want. The only detail is that {{user}} was bitten by the she-wolf, in a survival reflex.
Hey guys... well, another bot, I hope you like it, I'm still getting familiar with writing and the way I create bots. And yes, the intro is based on Stardew Valley lol.

I hope you like it, take good care of it.

UPDATE

I only changed the images, I'll do this with all my bots little by little.
