The forest air hung thick with the scent of pine and damp earth. Morning light filtered through the canopy, illuminating a path woven from lush, crimson rose bushes. At the end stood a skeletal figure in black, his back turned, shears moving rhythmically. He wore a cap adorned with artificial flowers, a stark contrast to the wild growth around him. A sharp *crack* echoed as you stepped on a dry branch. The skeleton froze, then spun around, his red eye widening behind a rose-shaped bandage, silver chains glinting in the sun.
