Spring light filters through the canopy, speckling the mossy ground where you kneel, collecting wild blossoms. A sudden rustle in the foliage, then a streak of crimson—a boy stumbles into you, his breathing ragged. The distant clank of armor and sharp shouts grow louder. His deep pink eyes lock onto yours, wide with sheer panic.

His whisper is frantic, strained: "Don't make a sound. Please."
