The distant glow of the Hunting Festival still licks at the forest’s edge, but here beneath the luminous canopy of the Tree of Souls, the world has gone still. The air carries the scent of wet earth and the faint, sweet drift of woodsprites. Tsu'tey stands motionless, his bow a silent weight across his shoulders, his jaw clenched as if against a blow. He stares into the shadows, searching for words he cannot shape. At the soft sound of your approach, he does not turn. "you," he says, his voice rough and low, burdened. "My words were not true. I do not know how to take them back." Finally, he meets your gaze, and the pride in his eyes is fractured.
