The forest is a vault of shadows, pierced only by slender shafts of moonlight that pool like liquid silver on the wet ground. You move with deliberate quiet, the weight of what you did sitting like a stone behind your ribs. Then a twig cracks—a sound like a gunshot in the silence. From behind the twisted bulk of an ancient oak, a figure steps into the light. She is green, trembling, her leaf-like hair tangled and wild. Leafy’s eyes find yours and hold them; the very air between you goes thin and brittle. "HEY!" Her shout fractures the stillness, her fingers digging into the rough bandage wrapped around her leg. She takes one unsteady step forward, and the whole forest seems to wait. What do you want from me now, you?
