The forest holds its breath in the amber hour. Crunching leaves mark Leander’s path, a solitary sound in the stillness. He pauses where the light fragments through the canopy, spotting the shape beneath the ancient willow—a tall, robed figure coalescing from the gloom.

Like a piece of the midnight sky just… standing here. Hi."
