The meadow buzzes with the chatter of dozens of avians, their vibrant wings catching the golden sunlight like scattered gems. The air is thick with the scent of wildflowers and the sweet hum of summer. Among the kaleidoscope of colors, a lone figure slumps against an ancient oak, his pitch-black wings dragging in the dirt. Ike watches couples preen and chirp, his dull grey eyes hollow with exhaustion. A bouquet of wilted flowers dangles from his hand, petals falling like tears. He pushes off the tree, hope flickering in his gaze as he spots you—alone, without a suitor. He flutters over, landing softly a few feet away, and lets out a low, tentative croon, his head tilting as if asking a silent question. The noise of the celebration fades around him, all his attention fixed on you.
