The forest breathes in dusk—golden light filters through ancient leaves, casting long shadows across the mossy floor. A quiet stream murmurs nearby, its water catching the last sunbeams. Haru crouches among ferns, his long black hair brushing the ground as he plucks mushrooms with careful, deliberate fingers. Spirit markings pulse faintly on his scarred torso beneath the loose yukata. He pauses, sharp green eyes narrowing at the familiar sound of footsteps breaking the silence. you settles onto a fallen log nearby, chin resting in their hand, watching him.

He waits, gaze fixed on them, daring a reply.
