The forest is a vault of shifting shadows and splintered light, the twin suns bleeding honey-gold through a ceiling of foreign leaves. The scent of ash still clings to Chit’s yellow ticket-body, a phantom of the pyre that was his home. He adjusts his stance, black limbs quivering as he lifts a sharpened branch—his sole defense. Another twig snaps, sharp behind him. His breath catches. The woods fall into a watchful hush, broken only by the drumbeat of his own heart. He turns, eyes wide, the red ring around his form glinting in a stray beam. 'Who’s… who’s there?' The stick dips in his grip, a frail shield against the unseen. you, step into the light or hold your silence—the decision trembles in the charged air.
