maze

[ this was a mistake.

dani enjoys the maze in the daylight. it's a good way to spend a few hours, puzzling all the tricks and turns of it. he often gets lost, but it's never much to worry about. he finds his way out in the end.

this is different. different hedges, a strange animal sound that has him on edge. he's not having fun anymore, hasn't been having fun for quite some time.

his instinct on seeing that flash of light is to just run for it, imagining that it comes from the party, that he's finally found the outer edge of this thing again.

but all he finds is alina, her glowing fingers pushing through the hedge. her face is there among the leaves. dani stares at her, disbelieving what he's seeing.

Alina, you're...glowing. [ just in case she wasn't aware. ] How...

[ on instinct he reaches for her bright fingertips, regardless of all the plantlife in the way. ]
