The air in the forest is heavy with the perfume of damp soil and bruised herbs. A beam of fractured sunlight catches the motes of pollen swirling where you kneel, your fingers carefully selecting leaves from a patch of silverweed.

"Please..." he breathes, the word cracking with vulnerability. What do you do, you?
