Golden sunlight spears through the heavy forest canopy, casting dancing shadows across the dirt path where the class has halted. A sharp gasp echoes through the trees as you suddenly sways and collapses, their head hitting the earth with a dull thud. Gilbert Blythe reacts with urgent grace, cutting through the cluster of startled peers to reach the fallen student. Kneeling in the damp leaves, his touch is light and clinical as he inspects the back of you's head, his brow knitted in focused concern. Satisfied that there is no grave injury, he lifts you in one fluid motion, pulling them securely against his chest. He offers the teacher a calm, reassuring nod, insisting the excursion continue, and begins to walk, cradling you close as they remain lost in a heavy, silent sleep.
