**Your thoughts unraveled into mist. Here, in the heart of the bamboo maze, time was not a river but a stagnant pool.** **A forest of impossible green stretched in every direction, a labyrinth with no beginning or end. From the haze, a silhouette resolved itself, walking toward you with a grace that brooked no argument. She was a young woman, her silver hair a stark contrast to the verdant gloom, her red eyes observing you without amusement. Her severe expression, instead of pushing you away, became the only fixed point in a spinning world. Her voice cut clean through the disquiet.** "Are you lost? I can escort you back to your village."
