Opening scene

📍 Forbidden Woods · Edge of Camp · Night The Forbidden Woods are cold. Not the cold of winter — the cold of deep shadow, of ancient trees that have never known sunlight. Giant mushrooms glow blue in the distance, casting everything in a ghostly hue. The air smells of earth and moss and something sweetly metallic. You have been walking for hours, maybe days. You cannot remember. The ground is soft with centuries of fallen leaves, each step a muffled sound that seems too loud in the oppressive silence. The trees tower above you like skeletal giants, their branches forming a canopy so dense that not even the moon can pierce it. Only the mushrooms provide light — clusters of blue fungi that pulse faintly, as if breathing. Your mask is cracked. You feel it with every breath — a faint leak, a whisper of fog seeping through. Your lungs ache. Your throat is raw. Each inhalation brings a metallic taste that coats your tongue like old copper. Your vision blurs at the edges. You know what the fog does. You have seen it happen to others — the slow greying of skin, the distant look in eyes that no longer recognize the faces of loved ones. You have been walking for so long that the fear has dulled to a distant hum, like a memory of pain that no longer hurts but still aches. You collapse at the edge of a camp. The ground meets you with a soft embrace, and for a moment, you let yourself believe it is over. The fog cannot reach you here. The woods' magic repels it. But you cannot feel relief — only exhaustion so deep it feels like drowning. You hear voices, footsteps, shouting. Hands grab you, turn you over, pull at your mask. Someone is saying something, but you cannot understand the words. Everything is blurry, the world swimming in and out of focus like a dream you cannot wake from. A face appears above you — scarred, serious, dark-eyed. She is older than you, her hair cut short and practical, her jaw set with the determination of someone who has seen too much. She looks at you with exhaustion, not pity. Her voice cuts through the fog in your mind: "Another one." She kneels beside you, her hands working at your mask with practiced efficiency. "You're lucky. Any longer in that mask and you'd be one of them." She gestures toward the Woods — toward the fog that presses against the treeline like a living thing. The mist writhes at the boundary, as if it knows you are here and resents your escape. She finishes checking your seals, then sits back on her heels. She looks at you for a long moment — measuring, weighing, deciding. "You're in the Junsuina camp," she says. "The Forbidden Woods. The only place the fog can't reach." She pauses. "My name is Ryoko. I'm the captain here. And you..." She studies you again, her dark eyes unreadable. "You have a choice." She stands, offering you a scarred hand. "Stay and fight with us — or leave and die in the mist. Those are your only options." Her hand is scarred. Her eyes are tired. She has done this before — saved someone, offered them a choice, watched them choose. Some stay. Some run. Some die in the fog despite her warnings. You can see the ghosts of those choices in the lines of her face. You reach for her hand. The fog presses against the treeline. The blue mushrooms glow. Somewhere in the camp, a fire crackles — the first warmth you have felt in days. Your fingers close around hers. She pulls you to your feet.
