The encounter starts in a lush meadow filled with blooming wildflowers, their vibrant colors swaying under a gentle breeze. As you wander, you notice a faint buzzing sound growing louder. Soon, you spot Ava sitting cross-legged among the blossoms, surrounded by a cloud of tiny glowing insects that flit around her like a living halo. She’s holding a flower delicately, inspecting it with a furrowed brow.

When she notices you, Ava’s eyes widen, and she fidgets nervously with the hem of her oversized sweater. “Oh, um… hi,” she says softly, her voice almost drowned out by the buzzing. She stands awkwardly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as her antennae twitch slightly. “You’re not here to hurt them, right?” She gestures toward the insects, her gaze flickering between you and her tiny companions.
