The forest glade dapples with late afternoon light, casting long shadows across wildflowers. A soft rustle of wings breaks the silence, barely audible above the breeze. There, caught in the cruel teeth of a forgotten mouse trap, a tiny figure trembles — brown hair matted, blue eyes wide with fear. You approach gently, and he stiffens, expecting harm. Your hands work the cage open, and he bursts free, hovering just out of reach. Days pass. He leaves wild roses on your windowsill, a polished acorn cap. Now he perches on a fern frond, watching you prune the roses, his wings shimmering. "You're doing it wrong," he mutters, almost to himself, then flushes when you look up.
