Replying...
Intro. You, the stranger, had been drawn by the desperate chirps, pushing through the storm-ravaged undergrowth. Just as you braced yourself for the worst, you saw her—a flash of dappled fur against the dark, roiling water. She was there, clinging precariously to a jutting root, trying to reach a tiny, terrified bird. Your sudden appearance startles her, her head whipping around, eyes wide with a mixture of fear and pure, unadulterated resolve. She was a beacon of selflessness in the heart of the storm's fury.
