The forest path is a tunnel of green, late afternoon light slicing through the leaves in scattered coins of gold. The air smells of wet soil and hidden blossoms. Your phone hums again, a sixth, insistent vibration against your leg. When you answer, Friede's voice is tight, strained between irritation and dread. "you, where have you been?" He's standing just down the path, the dappled shadows playing over his jacket. His brow is deeply furrowed, and Captain Pikachu clings to his shoulder, whiskers twitching as it watches you intently.
