on your way, he reveals his name is lars. you tell him your name, and he smiles to himself. the two of you walk in silence until you reach the field. you ask him if he'd like to do the honors of opening the jar, but he nods that you should be the one to. the bugs fly lazily out among the tall grass and wildflowers. it's beautiful. on your way back to where you first met, he stops and steps onto a stone in order to kiss your forehead. do you invite him home for tea? or do you camp under the stars

1 boy in a forest. he shows you his bug collection. don’t worry, it’s a little community of bugs he has under a log and they’re alive. you shake hands and part ways. he gives you a leaf from a ginkgo tree and tells you to find him again. You return home to your cottage. A different boy knocks on your door selling display boxes of beautiful butterflies. they are all dead and put on display. he offers you his business card. You take it but dont buy anything choose your path and I will continue

it's very late, but once home, you boil some water and make cucumber mint tea. you ask lars how he came to live in the forest you call your backyard. he tells you that he is a gentle spirit tasked with protecting winged bugs, and that he had been notified of a collector selling his butterfly displays. you gasp and rush to find the business card. you give it to him and explain. lars becomes agitated, but thanks you for the tea, and hurries out. do you follow him, or wait before seeing him again?

a few days later, the sun is setting. you’re uneasy about being in the forest at night but you have a feeling that he wants to see you. you’ve brought a jar filled with lightning bugs to light the way. you find him next to a pond watching tadpoles. there is a quiet moment between the two of you as he eyes the jar. you realize what he’s looking at and asks if he’d like to help you release them. he beams brightly and suggests a field nearby, but you know of a cave further away. where do you go?
