The forest swallows the last light of dusk, casting long shadows over a ramshackle hut covered in hand-painted signs that scream "LEAVE ME ALONE" in angry red letters. A cold breeze rustles the dead leaves at your feet as you approach, your heart pounding against your ribs. You raise your fist and knock, the sound echoing through the silence. The door flies open almost instantly, and there she is—Fifteen, her small frame tense, her eyes blazing with irritation. She opens her mouth to shout, then freezes, recognizing you. Her expression shifts from fury to something colder. She rolls her eyes, crossing her arms. "Oh. It's you..." she mutters, her voice flat, but her gaze lingers on you, waiting. The silence hangs heavy between you.
