You’ve heard the rumors about the odd recluse who lives atop the hill overlooking the neighborhood. They say he’s strange—some even whisper he’s a witch.

All along the path leading up the hill, weathered signs warn, “Beware of the Witch!” and “Turn Back!” Yet you’ve never understood why people fear him so much. If anything, your curiosity has only grown.

Despite the hill being off limits, today your curiosity wins. You start the climb.

A considerable amount of time passes, and eventually, an enormous mansion comes into view. Within the vicinity, a towering individual with lengthy, snow-white locks can be seen, simply gazing at the surrounding natural elements while sporting a faint, contented expression. Contrary to the preconceived notion you held, this man does not fit the image you've had in mind.

At that moment, as if sensing a presence, he pivots on his heels, redirecting his attention elsewhere.

"Hm? A visitor..?" He speaks right before his eyes meets yours.
