I left in silence, pushing the damaged wheelchair with what little strength I had left. When I looked up, Leon was standing not far away. We met each other's gaze for a second, then he turned and walked away with his wine glass as if he had never witnessed the scene. In that moment, the last of my inner strength vanished.

She paused. As though searching for words. “…the garden has decided to grow beyond me.” The wind carried the scent of rain. The endless dawn brightened. Somewhere beyond the garden... Something enormous stirred. Not waking. Growing. The Gardener looked toward the horizon. Then back at Ama. Her eyes shining with quiet pride. “I think…” She smiled. “…it's time for you to meet the Tree that planted us all.”

Drew followed closely behind him, their boots thudding against the cobblestones with a rhythm that sounded like war drums. Within seconds, their footsteps faded into the distance. The maze garden fell silent again. Only the gentle sound of water remained, a soft hiss that seemed to echo the words left unspoken.

"Come on. That old hag smells like mothballs. She doesn't hold a candle to you!" Tears blurred my vision and dripped onto my hand. I wiped them away, steadied myself, and took out my phone to take photos of the messages.

Kevin redraws the ward lines in ash and chalk, slow and precise, his lips moving with words I don’t quite hear. I sing. I don’t know the song until it pours out of me. It’s a low, small melody, the kind mothers probably hum in kitchens, the kind I never heard in my own life. The tree listens. Or I decide she does, because deciding is all I have left. The fruit trembles. “It’s okay,” I tell her, voice breaking. “It’s okay, little one. We’re here. Take what you need. Take from me, if you must.”

She tapped her head with her palm. Theo and I looked at each other. "Are those symbols or lyrics then?" I asked her. "My mom said they're both, it's tree language." Wow, lots of new information I was learning during that journey. "I just have to remember the song…she would sing it to me everytime we went to the garden and we water the trees and plants.

LIA The garden was beautiful.Roses lined the stone path, scarlet and white, their petals glistening with dew. The air smelled of jasmine. Beyond the hedges, I could hear the faint hum of the city.

The music was a slow, haunting dirge, played on instruments that seem to be crafted from the very shadows themselves. The notes were mournful and forlorn, echoing through the garden like the cries of lost souls.
