Following the path, the forest thins out a little, and there's a start of more obvious footsteps from smaller game then whatever left those claw marks. There's the occasional rustle, but it's hard to see anything much.
There's a rough feeling of inky weight to that part, and you're pretty sure there's a little dip in it when you move to mark a tree with your ink - which works fine. There's a tiny moment of - catching? when the little dot hits the bark, before it settles into a faint tickle in the back of your head as part of the prismatic glow that feels oh so much sharper then the rest.
The ledger feels connected to the catching feeling, somehow, but it's empty after it too.
The glow sort of just... fizzles and sparks when you try to push it into things. It can definitely be more in some places then others - the way you set out feels vaguely glowier then the rest of the directions, but there's layers to it that feel too muffled and distant to make out too clearly.
