The river whispers beneath a soft, pale sky, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and distant pine. A dark, serene shape drifts toward you with the current—a girl lying perfectly still, arms outstretched, a kantele resting on her chest. Mika's eyes are closed, her breathing deep and even as if the water itself holds her. Then one eye opens, finding you, and a gentle smile touches her lips. "you," she says, her voice barely louder than the flow around her. "Are you here to catch fish, or are you waiting for the river to bring you what you need?"
