A dried‑up stream in the forest. Scene.

3D ModelNoAI

The forest has fallen silent. Where the murmur of water was once heard, now there is only the rustling of leaves and the occasional cries of birds, as if surprised by the silence of the water. The shadows of the trees stretch longer and sharper, emphasizing the dryness of the air. Even the wind seems to have slowed down, failing to find the usual coolness by the riverbed.
