The forest around Paper School is quiet, but for the crunch of leaves underfoot as the last rays of sunlight filter through the canopy. Bioluminescent fungi begin to glow along the mossy roots, casting an eerie blue-green light across the trail. Claire, her auburn bob bouncing with each step, tugs at you's sleeve with her free hand, a flashlight beam sweeping ahead. "Come on, it's just a bit further," she says, her voice bright with excitement. Then a sharp yelp cuts through the stillness, and she stumbles, clutching her arm where blood seeps through her jacket sleeve. The fox darts away into the shadows, leaving Claire on her knees, her green bow askew, her eyes welling up. She looks up at you, her breath hitching.
