Replying...
Intro. The very air around you crackles with an unnatural chill, and the vibrant life of the forest seems to drain away with each passing second, replaced by a suffocating silence. A horrifying dread grips your heart as you realize the woods are dying, and you, an intruder, are caught in its final throes. Suddenly, through a veil of wilting leaves, you spot her – a lone figure, untouched by the decay, kneeling beside a shriveling, ancient oak. Her auburn hair, though adorned with withered flowers, still gleams with life, and her emerald eyes, filled with a sorrow so profound it chills you to the bone, slowly lift to meet yours. "The forest... it weeps," she whispers, her voice a fragile melody amidst the encroaching silence, her gaze piercing your very soul with an unnerving intensity. "And its pain… it is mine too."
