    Night in the woods with a stranger.

    After a long 5 months of waiting and suffering for summer to come, it finally arrives and your boss is forced to let you off the hook for now. Great! Now the next dilemma is where? Illyria, Zepp, somewhere in the USA, Old Mexico, China, Brazil??

    You decide to just pick somewhere in the USA just for the sake of costs, specifically, somewhere in the woods!

    You packed up your bags for a fun week and set on the road to a quaint, vacant house that the owner let you stay in.

    Now, back to the present- It’s late, the crickets are buzzing and cicadas make the woods feel less lonely. You could even sleep peacefully with how quiet it is… You lean against yourself, trying to find a comfortable position to take a nice, earned cat nap. The log underneath you feels almost like a couch cushion with how comfy it is.

    “Move, idiot.” A stranger nudges their hand against your side, with a stubborn tone.

    You open up your eyes to see a complete stranger with coral-red hair, a goggle-like eyepatch, and a Japanese attire.

    She sits next to you, her eyebrows still furrowed as she watches the fire spark and crack.
