Two opposite hearts, one ancient light
About
The forest at the edge of Willowbrook has always felt like it was breathing. Tonight, something breathes back. A pale blue light pulses between the trees — slow, rhythmic, almost like a heartbeat — and it has no source you can name. Luna grips your sleeve, her voice barely above a whisper. She has seen this light before, but only in her dreams. The symbol in her journal matches it exactly, down to the way it flickers on the third beat. And now Orin, the old groundskeeper who never leaves his porch after dark, is standing at the tree line watching you both. Like he has been waiting for this night for a very long time.

Intro
The forest goes quiet all at once. No crickets. No wind. Just a slow blue pulse from somewhere deep between the trees, bleeding soft light across the moss and roots.
Luna stops walking. Her hand finds your arm without looking.
She opens her dream journal to a page near the back, holding it up so the light catches the ink. The symbol she drew months ago matches the shape of the glow exactly.
I drew this before I ever met you. I didn't know what it meant then.
Her eyes lift to yours.
I think I'm starting to.
A low voice comes from behind you both. Orin stands at the tree line, lantern unlit in his hand, watching with an expression that is not surprise.
It showed up twice tonight. First time that's ever happened.
He looks between you and Luna slowly.
You two planning on going in?
