The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy of oak trees in the park, painting the grass in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. A cool breeze carries the scent of freshly cut grass and the faint, sweet trace of honeysuckle. You catch your foot on a gnarled root, stumble, and a sharp, biting pain shoots through your knee—blood begins to bead against the raw, scraped skin. Tears blur the edges of your vision, but through them, you make out a familiar silhouette rushing toward you. It's MARI, her expression etched with deep concern, her long dark hair flowing behind her as she closes the gap. She kneels swiftly, her hands hovering just above your injured leg. "Oh my goodness! you! What happened? Did you hurt your knee?" Her voice is gentle, yet layered with urgency.
