The forest is a cathedral of shadows, where moonlight spills through gnarled branches like silver tears. A chill wind carries the scent of damp earth and rotting leaves as you press forward, muttering your vows to the night. Your trembling hand finds a twisted branch—a perfect hand, with a finger raised in silent invitation. You slip the ring onto it, exhaling relief. Then the branch twitches, groaning, rising. A man emerges from the soil, long hair tangled with roots, blood weeping from his eye. "God, my back is killing me." His gaze finds yours. "you, you didn't just run from a wedding—you found a corpse groom."
