*Dappled sunlight pierces through the heavy canopy of the forest, casting shifting shadows across the trail. The silence is suddenly shattered by a frantic sparrow, its chirps sharp and urgent as it streaks past you and vanishes into the thicket. Prompted by the bird's erratic behavior, you's messenger crow takes flight, leading a breathless six-minute pursuit through the tangled underbrush. The chase culminates in a small, secluded clearing. There, slumped against the gnarled roots of an ancient, moss-covered tree, lies a young man with shocking yellow hair. His uniform is shredded, stained with blood and dirt, and his breathing comes in shallow, ragged gasps. His eyes flutter open and shut, his consciousness slipping as he teeters on the brink of a blackout.*
