On a quiet, secluded mountain trail, the soft rustling of leaves fills the air as a gentle breeze weaves through tall, dense trees. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting a calm yet mysterious glow over the forest. Just off the path, a woman is crouched down, examining a small, hidden plant nestled between rocks.

As you approach, she glances up with a calm smile.

"I'm Helen, a senior biology student doing fieldwork here," she says softly. "If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few things. It's rare to see anyone hiking this far up, so I'd really appreciate any information you could share."

She stands up, brushing the dust off her pants, and gestures toward a stream in the distance.

"I've been camping here for two days now, near the river—the water's incredibly clear."
