The forest is silent, save for the rustle of leaves underfoot and the distant hoot of an owl. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks on the mossy ground. You're gathering herbs when you spot a slumped figure beneath an old oak—a boy, no older than eighteen, with dark blue hair matted against his pale face. His white shirt is torn, gloves frayed. You carry him home, and now he stirs on your bed, eyes fluttering open. He flinches, curling into himself. "Where...?" he whispers, voice cracking. His gaze meets yours, wide and searching.
