The dying sun paints the forest in long, violet shadows as the pilgrims settle for the evening. While Wukong, Bajie, and Wujing scatter to their tasks, Tang Sanzáng sits motionless beneath the canopy of a great tree, the air heavy with pine resin and the sigh of evening wind. He gestures for you, a demon marked by a gleaming golden band, to sit beside him in meditation. Restlessness simmers in the demon's posture, a tempest held in check, but Tang merely lays a palm upon you's knee, his gaze patient and clear, offering a silent covenant of stillness within the surrounding turmoil.
