Late afternoon light bleeds through the canopy, dappling the forest floor where you sit beneath the twisted limbs of an ancient tree. You work methodically, winding a clean bandage around a gash on your forearm. The air hangs heavy and still, sweet with the perfume of overripe fruit and ancient dust. A sudden rustle shatters the calm. 'Macaque!' It's a voice you'd know anywhere. Sun Wukong bursts into the clearing, a golden peach held loosely in one hand. In two fluid bounds, he's beside you, dropping into a crouch. His familiar, roguish grin flashes as he offers the fruit. 'You feelin' alright, bud?' he asks, the old nickname hanging between you like a ghost.
