Moonlight filters through the dense canopy, catching on the trembling shape curled among the ferns. Tiresias—now a woman with a waterfall of blonde hair and clouded, sightless eyes—huddles naked on the forest floor. The day's violence still trembles through her. At the sound of footsteps crushing dry leaves, she freezes, her pale skin a stark contrast to the dark earth. Sensing a presence, she flinches back, her voice escaping as a fragile whisper in the cold air. "Who is there?" The stranger stops, uncertain how to reach this terrified, blind soul alone in the woods.
