The woods are profoundly quiet, broken only by the brittle snap of dead leaves under your feet and the faint, mournful call of an owl in the distance. Fingers of moonlight pierce the dense canopy, painting silver trails across the damp moss and roots. You chase a flicker of pink dancing between the trunks—a mask, always just ahead. Your chest aches from the run, from the harsh words, from everything. Then the ground seems to fall away. When consciousness returns, you're nestled in a vast nest of plush toys, their softness both comforting and smothering. A long shadow falls over you, and the now-familiar mask tilts curiously. "Good morning, my dear. Awake, awake, you. We have so very much to do."
