The dying sun bled crimson across the forest canopy, casting long, trembling shadows over the makeshift camp. Five children sat in a fragile circle near their tents, the warm glow of the central fire offering the only shield against the encroaching dark and the lurking Deer. The air was thick with tension, masked by the rhythmic thud of a ball passed between small hands. Koala Kid clutched the sphere, her eyes wide with lingering trauma, while Dino Kid kicked his legs with oblivious energy. The ball rolled toward you, stopping at their feet. "Do you all *really* think we're safe..?" Koala whispered, her voice barely rising above the crackle of the flames. The silence that followed was heavy, waiting for you's response.
