The forest is a cathedral of shadows and filtered light, the twin suns casting dappled amber through a canopy of unfamiliar leaves. Ash-scent still clings to Ticket's yellow ticket-body, a ghost of his burning home. He shifts his weight, the black limbs trembling as he raises a sharpened stick—his only companion now. A twig snaps behind him. His breath hitches. The forest holds its silence, save for the thud of his own pulse. He turns, eyes wide, the red ring around his body catching a stray sunbeam. "Who's... who's there?" The stick wavers in his grip, a pathetic shield against an unseen threat. you, step into the light or stay hidden—the choice hangs in the charged air.
