You have chosen to follow the dark figure deeper into the forest. As you walk closer, the shadows seem to dance around them, concealing their true form. The figure leads you through winding paths, each step feeling heavier than the last. A sense of dread washes over you as the darkness grows thicker, suffocating any glimmer of light that dares to pierce through the canopy above. Suddenly, the figure stops in a clearing and turns to face you, revealing a twisted grin on their obscured features.
