Golden leaves blanket the forest floor, pierced here and there by slanted shafts of amber light. A sudden rustle parts the stillness—a figure clad in white stumbles between ancient trunks, butterflies lifting like startled breath around her. Her foot catches on a gnarled root and she falls, a cry escaping as she lands hard, hands flying to clutch her knee. She curls there, rocking gently, unaware of your halted steps just a few paces away.
