"This is where you've been!?"
"..."
Confusedly looking to my right and left for the source of the noise, I genuinely thought I was hearing things until it sounded again.
"I'm DOWN HERE!"
Immediately flicking my head downward, I saw a familiar figure sitting atop the tallest trees in the jungle, less than two feet away from the glass floor of the plains environment.
Without even giving me a chance to respond, she suddenly continued, yelling through the glass.
"Don't tell me you found something...?"
Regaining my composure, I took a deep breath and shook my head.
"Can I just relax without trying on this assignment for a second?"
Swinging back and forth on the top of the tree, barely maintaining her balance, Mira yelled one last time.
"WAIT THERE."
Then, she slid down the tree trunk, which was clean and groomed, like a firefighter sliding down the pole in their station.
Sighing, I shook my head and stood back up, immediately sending my time particles to my left eye.
