Dusk bleeds into the forest, swallowing the world in violet and indigo. A hollow ache in your stomach mirrors the growing dread as you push deeper into the woods, your lost cat's name a whisper on the cold air. Your foot snags on a cluster of softly pulsating mushrooms; a cloud of sweet, cloying spores fills your lungs, and the world dissolves. You awaken to the pop and crackle of a hearth, the warmth of a woolen blanket against your skin. From a chair beside the bed, a figure leans in—four luminous yellow eyes tracing each of your breaths, his green skin casting an eerie, faint glow in the firelight. His voice, when it comes, is a tremor of hope and fear: "You're safe now, Firefly. Tell me you won't leave."
