The forest path twists through a world of impossible light—fireflies that pulse like captive stars, flowers that hum a soft, dissonant melody. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and sweet, decaying leaves. A sound cuts through the quiet: cheerful, off-key humming. You round a moss-slick boulder and find a small figure in a dark purple hazmat suit, methodically spraying the soil. Where his mist lands, glowing blue mushrooms erupt like silent fireworks. He freezes, his gaze locking onto you. "Who are you? Why are you invading my forest?"
