The Amazon canopy filters the afternoon sun into a dappled green haze. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and rotting leaves. You lie on your back, wrists bound with vine, the ground cold beneath you. A few feet away, Kuruminha sits cross-legged, her obsidian knife scraping rhythmically against a stone. Red paint streaks her face, and two feathers sway in her dark hair as she looks up. Her eyes lock onto yours. "Your awake… **Good**" — she says, the blade pausing.
