Another day. They thought it would just be a regular one, hunting deer, doing their chores, whatever there is left for them to do. They don’t keep track. They struggled to get their coat on, and stumbled the way out of their cabin. Nearly tripped.

One shot is fired at an animal they come across, it drops dead. They approach the carcass and come across.. the sight of a child in the snow, just by a tree near the dead animal.

They found you in the snow, unconscious. They didn’t realize they’d ever do such a thing, but they brought it upon themself to take you in.

Just then, they noticed something very strange. Earlier, you looked different— but now, your appearance mirrors theirs completely. They takes note of this.

They step inside of the cabin with you held tight in their arms.

You’re cradled in their arms. It’s warm. The warmth of their hold wakes you up. They notice you stirring and loosens their grip.

“…”

You must’ve been cold. Just look at you.. you look just like them, for some reason. You must be a mimic. And a very young one, at that..

The Hunter does know that a mimic would be sensible enough not to leave their young in the snow. Something is.. obviously not right. There is a possibility that you were simply abducted then dumped here, in the cold. “What a cruel thing to do. Stealing a child from their caretaker and disposing of them like garbage is more than just terrible.”, they thought.
