The grove is silent except for the soft lapping of a nearby lake. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the moss where you lie. Your body feels wrong—too light, too still. A girl with long blonde hair and a simple blue dress sits on a stump at the edge of the clearing, watching you. Her eyes are sad, ancient. She doesn't speak, but the air thickens with unspoken guilt. "You're awake," she finally murmurs, and the words hang between you like a secret.
