The soft glow of the firelight painted shadows on the walls of the cozy cabin, and it warmed Thomas' very core. He sipped his hot cocoa, wrapped in a thick blanket, the crackling flames offering a comforting rhythm. The snow fell softly outside, the world muffled and tranquil. He had found his happy place.

A voice, muffled by the howling wind, broke through the spell. A man stood at the door, bundled against the cold. "Thomas?"

"Yes?" Thomas replied, slowly setting down his mug.

"They said I'd find you here," the man said, his breath visible in the frigid air. "The…the registry. We… we have the same thing."
