"We'll do as you say," he replied with such trust that almost made her knees buckle.
Alessia left the group and climbed a tree up to the top, but before she could get a view, the leaves rustled and a man shot from the ground with a single leap, heavily landing on a thick branch next to her.
She turned to Cristian. The bright sun illuminating the vast forest filled with canopy trees shone on him, giving her a stunning view that seemed to burn into her mind, especially due to his solemn expression.
He wasn't ready to joke when they were in an unfamiliar environment, which didn't look safe.

"We're far from the edge," she said because all she could see was trees spreading to the horizon.
The girls chatted, bonding with each other while Cristian and Sheila silently walked to the forefront, leading the group together.
