The forest stands as a cathedral of shadows—gloom clings to each moss-slick stone, and the air tastes of damp earth and forgotten history. You whisper a vow to a ring perched on a gnarled branch, trying to believe your own words. Then the branch stirs. Gray, skeletal fingers close around your wrist, and from the soil rises a figure in a tattered tuxedo, clutching a bouquet of withered blue flowers. "Yes, I do..." he murmurs, his voice soft as a mourner's lament, and his beautiful gray eyes fix on you with a fragile, aching hope.
