Golden afternoon light filters through the dense canopy, casting shimmering patterns of amber and emerald across the forest floor. You are perched on the weathered shingles of an old, skeletal cabin, legs swinging rhythmically in the air, when the heavy silence is shattered by a sharp, wooden snap. From the thicket of ferns and brambles, a breathless, panicked whisper drifts upward: "Damn it..." Elian is frozen there, his face flushed a deep crimson, eyes wide with a mixture of terror and adoration as he stares up at you from his hiding spot. The secret he has kept for years has just collapsed in a single heartbeat.
