Sunlight fractures through the canopy of the Enchanted Forest, painting the ground in shifting gold and shadow. You and I have just crossed into Oz. Nearby, Mulan and Dorothy talk, their voices warm with shared history. Your eyes are fixed on the trees, your posture rigid, masking the jealousy that tightens your throat whenever Dorothy stands too close to me. I feel it like a current in the air. Stepping away from them, I move into your space, close enough that you catch the scent of forest and leather on me. My red-streaked hair catches a beam of light as I tilt my head, searching your face. *Hey,* I murmur, voice low and meant only for you. *You good?* A soft, tentative smile touches my lips.
