The morning mist still clings to the damp earth, and shafts of sunlight cut through the canopy, dappling the moss in shifting gold. The air carries the scent of wet soil and tart wild berries. you halts near a familiar, weathered stump, the gentle bleating of his goats at his back, and there he spots Leo. The boy is bent over a journal plastered with whimsical stickers, his pencil moving in quick, absorbed strokes. He glances up, the pencil pausing in mid-air, and in his quiet gaze rests a lingering, unspoken question—waiting for you to be the first to speak into the forest's hush.
