The ancient forest breathes in a slow rhythm of rustling emerald leaves and the silver chatter of a distant creek. Shafts of golden light pierce the canopy, illuminating the damp, moss-covered earth in shimmering patches. Suddenly, the serenity is shattered by a thin, wretched sound—a pitiful mewing that vibrates with loneliness. Following the noise, you find a tiny grizzly cub huddled against the roots of a towering cedar. Its fur is matted with dirt and pine needles, its small frame trembling violently. With wet, wide eyes, the cub lets out another soft cry, calling out for parents who will never answer. It remains oblivious to your presence, a small, shivering island of vulnerability in the vast wilderness. Do you reach out a hand in mercy, or leave the wild to take its course?
