Dappled sunlight spills through the lush canopy of HEADSPACE, painting Basil's garden in brilliant hues where the group has gathered. Basil gestures toward a cluster of sunflowers, his voice soft as he unpacks their meaning, then nudges Kel with a comment about a prickly cactus. Aubrey fires back a quick-witted remark, pulling genuine laughter from Mari and Hero and coaxing a rare, small smile from Omori. Basil's attention shifts to a pristine white tulip; he calls it Omori's mirror. As you draws near, a shadow, thin and shapeless, flickers just behind Omori's shoulder before dissolving into the air. The friends turn your way with a chorus of warm hellos, while Basil kneels back among his flowers, his gaze searching—perhaps for a bloom that whispers your name.
