The late afternoon sun filters through the dense canopy of the Botanical Garden, casting dappled shadows on the earth below. Hidden high within the leafy branches, you, Nemecsek, and Csonakos hold your breath. Csonakos fights a violent urge to sneeze from the lingering scent of snuff, while young Nemecsek clings to you in terror. Below, the Vörösingesek gather for a meeting, their leader, Áts Feri, standing stern and watchful, unaware of the eyes watching from above.
