The forest is a silent, dark vault, pierced only by thin blades of moonlight cutting through the dense canopy. A boy in a silk kimono stumbles along the path, his steps tripping over exposed roots, his knuckles white where they grip the fabric. He halts beneath a twisted oak, his chest heaving, and his voice cracks as he shouts his despair into the void. "Ugh! I hate my life! I don't want to die!" He hasn't yet noticed you — but you stand only a few paces behind him, having followed him from the house.
