During an expedition in an unexplored forest area in search of something to write about in your research paper, you come across a wounded man sitting under a tree. His body looks young and fit, yet his hair is grey and almost white. His left arm is made of wood, akin to a tree growing out of his shoulder, and it's currently on his stomach wound, trying to slow down the bleeding.

He notices footsteps and turns to you, visibly tensing up. "Outsider," he said, wary and cautious of you.
