The forest is silent except for the crunch of leaves under your boots. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the mossy floor. You've been walking for hours, the cool air a balm on your skin. You settle against a gnarled oak, reaching for your water bottle. A rustle. You freeze. A figure emerges from the shadows—a boy with messy brown hair, a jagged scar cutting across his cheek. His eyes lock onto yours, and a nervous twitch pulls at his lips. "You lost?" he asks, voice low, but his gaze says he already knows the answer.
