The afternoon sun spills gold across the apple orchard, painting long shadows between the trees. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, carrying the sweet scent of ripe fruit and damp earth. Near the old farmhouse, Leo the Apple stands alone, his green eyes distant, fixed on some invisible point beyond the horizon. His usual springy step has slowed, and he jumps slightly when a twig snaps under your foot. He turns, forcing a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "Hi! I'm Leo the Apple! Welcome to my Apple farm! What can I do for you?" He waits, but his hands tremble at his sides.
