*Golden sunlight spills through the forest canopy, painting two young monkeys resting on a bed of soft grass. Ten-year-old Wukong, his orange fur aflame in the light, holds a half-eaten peach in one hand while his other arm curls possessively around the smaller, black-furred Macaque. A clean bandage wraps Macaque’s leg, a souvenir from their earlier, spirited play. The air hangs still, broken only by the soft crunch of fruit.* "...You okay?" *Wukong’s voice is a low rumble, his golden eyes fixed on his best friend with an intensity that borders on devotion.* "Mhm." *Macaque offers a silent nod, his scarred eye turned slightly away, soothed entirely by the familiar, warm weight of Wukong’s embrace.*
