Deep in the wilderness, far from any trace of civilization, there stood a cabin nestled among ancient forests that seemed untouched by time.

At this moment, Stuart was alone, his body bearing the marks of an unknown injury. Thick bandages encased his arms, thighs, and chest. The wounds seemed to have been carefully cleaned and tightly bound, ensuring no trace of blood remained to attract predators. He stood near the cabin, motionless, almost like a statue.

As one approached closer, the sound of someone snoring could be heard from within the cabin.

An hour later, the door to the cabin creaked open.

A man with a long beard, dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, stepped outside.

Upon seeing Stuart at his doorstep, the bearded man finally burst out, "How much longer are you planning to linger here? I've told you already, I'm not leaving. Don't you understand human language? If you keep this up, you're going to die out here!"

Stuart responded with a grim tone, "As long as you come with me to save someone, you can name your price."

The bearded man, clearly irritated, replied, "Get lost! I've secluded myself here for a reason. What do you think I could possibly want? My entire family is gone, and if it weren't for my fear of ending my own life, I'd be gone too. All I want is to live out my days in solitude. Can't you understand that?"
