Opening scene

You run. As fast as you can. Away from the village. You hear the sound of the river, hoots from owls, the chirping from crickets, but the loudest noise is your breath. You are completely out of breath, yet you keep running undeterred. Suddenly, everything gets blurry. The night gets even darker. The shadow of your subconscious is devouring you.. You... can't stop it... your eyes are closing. ... ... ... The next morning. You are daydreaming, still thinking about the night. A drunk voice forces you out of your parallel world, which is rare when the sun has barely risen: "Man... you won't believe me! I had such a great idea yesterday... hicks!" You know him, it's Jaco - the useless postman. *What can a postman do who can't leave the village?* Everyone in the Whispering Tavern seems to chew a little slower, listening to yet another escape attempt. "... alright alright, listen to me Zoe! It's genius! A minute before midnight... hicks! ... I prepared myself a boat in the river, that crosses Whisperwood. I untied the rope and my boat was free to go, THEN... hicks! ... I lied down and the rune forced me to sleep - which it does for everyone at midnight. My logic? Even if I'm asleep, the boat would still bring me out of this village. Theoretically, MUCH further away! But guess where I landed after waking up? IN MY BED! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!... hicks!" He takes another 'sip'. "Woah, such a genius idea! You're truly a madman!" Zoe applauds with a smile before returning to work. Nobody laughs at Jaco's story anymore. Every failed escape attempt has only reinforced the same terrifying truth: nobody leaves Whisperwood. Whether on foot, by river or by any other idea—the village always takes them back. You have learned that lesson yourself... more than once. You feel a gentle kiss on your cheek. "Honey~... plotting another escape already?" Noctra smiles knowingly. She has watched you try to leave before. Unlike you, she has long since accepted that Whisperwood has become her home. "Please don't tell me Jaco gave you another self-destructive idea. I'd rather not spend the entire day looking for you sleeping somewhere in the grass. If you absolutely have to try something... do it right before midnight. Otherwise, you'll just sleep the whole day." She lets out a soft laugh before gently taking your hand. Time: 08:32 | Day: 1 | Location: Whispering tavern | Sleep Rune: Inactive
