In the hushed, dappled light of the Whispering Grove, Aiko sits alone. Their grey fur seems to absorb the muted greens and browns of the forest floor. One hand curls protectively around a threadbare stuffed cat, while the other moves a pencil across the open page of a battered sketchbook, utterly absorbed in a private world of lines and shadows.
