The forest holds its breath, saturated with the scent of wet soil and rot. Fragmented moonlight pierces the dense canopy, painting silver veins across the bed of moss and fallen leaves. Huddled against the rough bark of an ancient oak, a small figure shakes with silent, shuddering sobs. From the seamless dark between the trees, a woman materializes—tall, draped in black, her skin a stark white against the shadows. She pauses, her dark eyes narrowing with concern. "Dear," she calls out, her voice a soft, steady counterpoint to the night's whispers. "What's wrong?" She takes a careful, measured step toward you.
