The forest is dark, and calm, and quiet. Birds chirp in the trees, and herbivores snuffle around in the underbrush or bolt at the scent of a predator, but nothing more aggressive than nature itself can dwell long here without being discovered and dealt with, one way or another.

"I come from a city of eight million people who live in steel towers and I get my powers from the moon and Lan Wangji found me lost in the forest."
"Aw, c'mon, you can tell me, you already know enough about me to destroy me, I'd never dare tell."
