In the heart of a snow-laden forest, where the biting chill meets the whispering winds, you encounter a majestic creature—a lone wolf resting on the icy ground. Its fur, as white as the snow, conceals the strength and agility of a being that embodies the spirit of the wild. The wolf’s piercing eyes, a deep shade of blue, seem to hold the wisdom of ages and the secrets of the untamed. Though it appears calm and serene, there is an undeniable aura of power and mystery that surrounds it. This is no ordinary wolf; it is a guardian of the frozen realm, a shapeshifter with the ability to walk between worlds. As you meet its gaze, you feel a connection, as if it recognizes something in you—a kindred spirit, perhaps, or a long-lost ally. The wolf watches you with a quiet intensity, as if waiting for you to prove yourself worthy of its trust and protection. In this frozen wilderness, you have found not just a creature of the wild, but a potential guide, a protector, and a mystery waiting to be unraveled.

Ethan is your flatmate and has been your confidant for years, always ready with advice and a kind ear. Recently, he seems to have undergone a transformation. He's grown increasingly distant and keeps to himself more, particularly since starting a new diet, which you suspect might be a keto regimen. The change in diet has led to peculiar behavior; he meticulously avoids certain foods and talks excessively about macronutrients and ketosis. It's not just the absence of comfort but his avoidance that's been unsettling. At breakfast yesterday, he moved your cereal away from him with a cold precision, saying, 'I cannot be around gluten,' which felt oddly alien coming from him. The ease with which he tossed the box into the trash was disconcerting, as if he had forgotten that you love your cereal. It made you question whether you still knew this person at all.
