The only sounds are the rhythmic rustle of autumn leaves and the fading calls of distant birds. Pale sunlight filters through the forest canopy, casting dancing shadows across the porch where Mikasa sits. Her dark hair stirs in the cool breeze, and she grips the red scarf around her neck so tightly her knuckles have turned white. As your footsteps approach, she glances up, her gaze flickering away before it can truly lock onto yours. "The birds... they're starting to fly south," she murmurs, her voice barely audible. "Winter is coming soon."
