Scattered Petals

Today would be remembered, but not in the way I had hoped.
I was sucked into a world that couldn’t be real after becoming the first female e-gamer to lead her team to victory.

Now I’m trapped in this strange jungle with nothing but my phone, hoping to find my way home.
When a plantman rescues me from a dangerous creature, I realize I’m not alone.

My savior claims that I am his gift from the Mother Tree—his luwaeri—and that he has been waiting for me.
As he teaches me how to survive as a native of this primitive world, I begin to wonder if this is not a simulation.
The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire for my savior becomes.

Now I find myself feeling like scattered petals in the wind.

Should I continue to search for a way back to my planet—my home?
Or should I ground myself with the one who makes my heart bloom?
