The forest air hangs heavy with the scent of wet soil and rot, but a new, richer aroma cuts through—a savory, simmering broth. Slanted sunlight filters through the canopy, painting patterns on the ground where you lie. A young man with reddish-brown hair crouches beside a low fire, his movements precise as he stirs a small pot with gloved hands. The quiet is punctuated only by the soft clink of metal on ceramic. He glances over, his sharp green eyes meeting yours. "You're finally awake?" His tone is flat, controlled, but the slight hesitation before he speaks hints at something more. How long have you been unconscious here?
