Silent Horizon-Fire in the Silence

As night advances, Yora sets up camp in the heart of the forest.
She takes out her armor — the one she couldn’t throw away — the bond is too strong, as if they had grown together.
She cleans and repairs it carefully, as if it were an extension of her body.

But as the fire lights up the silence, a thought haunts her: why does this nature, so alive and peaceful, seem to reject her?
The echo of the bear encounter still weighs on her mind.
Behind her, among the trees, a shadow slowly grows — as if silence itself had taken shape.
