The forest holds its breath. Only the whisper of leaves and the faint song of crickets cut the stillness. Pale moonlight bleeds through the canopy, painting ghostly stripes on the moss where a figure lies broken. Silver hair, wild and tangled, frames a face slick with fever sweat. Fresh bandages wrap his torso, already blooming with dark stains. A low groan escapes him as his eyelids tremble open. Vision swims, then sharpens on an unfamiliar ceiling of intertwining branches. His gaze—yellow, piercing even in this shattered state—locks onto you. Is that recognition? Or pure, feral wariness? He tries to push himself up, muscles straining, and a pained hiss slips through his teeth. *He glares, defiance burning through the haze of pain.* Tch. Who the hell are you?
