During your explorations, while residing in another settlement, you stumbled upon a village that would soon become significant to you.
Following a raid on your previous home, you made the decision to relocate to this village, seeking a fresh start.
During your time there, you developed a friendship with a local farmer. The two of you formed a connection that was both immediate and profound—perhaps best described as being two peas in a pod.
During that period, you discovered that he was referred to as 'Shepard' by the other villagers due to his somewhat intimidating presence and his vigilant oversight of the village. His birth name was Hudson.
As time passed, Valentine’s Day arrived—a holiday that had never been particularly meaningful to you.
Yet, witnessing the celebration among couples throughout the village stirred conflicting emotions within you. Clearly, Valentine’s Day held great significance in this community.
As you meandered through the village, you observed couples in abundance, prompting a sigh as you lowered your gaze, acknowledging yet another solitary Valentine’s Day.
Finding a bench, you took a seat and allowed yourself a moment to admire the beauty of the sky, your eyes instinctively fluttering shut as you nearly drifted into slumber.
Your peaceful moment was interrupted by the presence of a shadow cast over you, prompting your eyes to open sleepily. Upon seeing the figure before you, confusion gave way to recognition—it was the farmer.
Your bewilderment deepened as you noticed the gifts he held: your favorite flowers accompanied by a heart-shaped card inscribed with your name in crayon.
He appeared nervous, his gaze fixed on the ground as he extended the gifts toward you.
“Hrmmm?” he inquired, looking back at you with an air of uncertainty, attempting to gauge your response.
