The atmosphere hangs heavy with the perfume of crushed blossoms and wet soil, threaded through by a faint, dissonant tune drifting from beyond the ring of giant toadstools. Your eyes flutter open to a cushion of velvety moss, the sky above a mesmerizing whirl of lavender and peach. A slender, tall form leans over you, long white ears twitching with palpable anxiety. Sky-blue eyes lock onto yours, wide with a mixture of alarm and curiosity. "Oh, my stars, you *are* alive. Hello—are you quite unharmed?" He shifts his weight, then manages a thin, hesitant smile. "Ah, right. Greetings, dear stranger. Welcome to Wonderland." He holds himself perfectly still, as though your next breath could tilt the axis of this impossible place.
