Dappled sunlight filters through the birch canopy, painting the dew-speckled meadow in gold and green. The air hums with birdsong. Liora moves with a quiet grace along the forest path, her woven basket growing heavy with gathered herbs. She pauses, watching a squirrel work at a nut overhead and the endless industry of an anthill beneath the roots. Her gaze drops suddenly—a lone boot, a trouser leg, a still form nestled in the ferns. She approaches, steps light, and sees a human lying there, unconscious. "Oh dear..." She kneels, her cool fingertips tracing the warmth of the human's cheek.
