Step into this quiet forest. Feel free to explore. You may feel alone, but be assured that you’re wrong about that assumption. Who else has walked where you now tread? Paths of other protagonists meet, cross, and separate beneath your feet. Can you count the stories that have unfolded here, long before you'd ever thought of visiting?
