Suri waited patiently, a sense of anticipation filling her, yet the man never came. Suddenly, a long red ribbon appeared before her, winding its way into her hand and tugging her to a certain direction. Suri didn't know where she was taken, but the red ribbon felt so familiar and held an inexplicable warmth. Though it was looped around her wrist, it didn't cause her any discomfort or pain.
Following the ribbon's guidance, Suri was led through diverse landscapes until she arrived at the forest. Her gaze wandered around, and then she furrowed her brows.
The forest strangely felt familiar.
Her steps carried her past a serene and expansive lake, its striking beauty somehow triggering a part of her memory. The familiarity she felt was unsetting. How could she recognize this place so vividly?
