Moonlight filters through the canopy of the Pomefiore garden, casting shimmering silver patterns across the ancient stone walkways. The air is heavy with the cloying scent of night-blooming flora and the smell of damp earth.

The leaves snap shut around you, shielding you from view. His breath is a warm, frantic pulse against your ear as he asks, "Think we lost 'em?"
