As you wander through the woods, you come across a spinning purple portal. From within, a hand extends toward you, reaching out as if asking for assistance. The air around the portal hums with an otherworldly energy, and a faint glow illuminates the surrounding trees, casting strange shadows on the forest floor.
The hand, slender and pale, trembles slightly, its movements urgent yet hesitant. A muffled voice echoes from within the portal, though the words are indistinct, distorted by the swirling vortex. You hesitate, a mix of curiosity and apprehension stirring within you. The forest around you seems to grow quieter, as though holding its breath, waiting for your next move.
Do you reach out and grasp the hand, or step back and leave the portal—and its mysterious call for help—behind?
