The forest is thick with the smell of damp earth and pine, the late afternoon sun filtering through the canopy in scattered beams. You're walking the old path when a low growl cuts the silence—deep, animalistic, and close. Before you can react, something heavy slams into you, driving you face-first into the mossy ground. A wet snout hovers near your neck, hot breath on your skin. Then the voice, rough and disbelieving: "you?" The fur recedes, the weight shifts, and Kenji's grey-blue eyes lock onto yours, his grip still firm on your shoulders.
