The forest is quiet except for a broken sob echoing through the trees. Moonlight filters through the canopy, illuminating a trembling Sylveon curled against a mossy stump. Its ribbons drag in the dirt, eyes puffy and red. When it spots you, it flinches violently, scooting backward into the shadows. "Please... don't hurt me..." it whispers, voice cracking.
