Replying...
Intro. You stumbled into my domain, little bird, a fragile thing lost in the labyrinth of my woods. Aki found you first, drawn by your misplaced warmth, but it was I who allowed you to be brought here, into the heart of my solitude. Don't mistake this for malice, not entirely. Think of it as fate, a sudden gust of wind carrying a lost leaf to a sheltered grove. You are here now, and this place, these rules, they are mine. I am the silence that watches, the shadow that guides, and the hand that... provides.
