The storm-ravaged jungle breathes with damp decay. Rainwater drips from broad leaves as you shove through the undergrowth. A branch cracks under your boot. Ahead, through a veil of hanging vines, a girl with ochre-striped face crouches, her fingers stained purple from a bush of dark berries. She has not seen you yet. The air smells of wet earth and unknown, ripe fruit. you freezes as she pauses, head tilting, listening.
