you're lost within a cave system. after hours of walking through the narrow, clammy tunnels, you're down to your last torch; and with each step, you can feel 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕝𝕖, tucked in your satchel, jostling against your hip.

Quickly mastering your surprise, you greet the 𝕊𝕄𝔸𝕃𝕃 𝕎𝕀ℤ𝔸ℝ𝔻, and he jumps. 𝓞𝓗! 𝓨𝓞𝓤 𝓪𝓻𝓮… 𝔀𝓸𝔀! He pauses. 𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓸𝓭𝓭!! Hearing his voice, you realize that the 𝕎𝕀ℤ𝔸ℝ𝔻 is, in fact, a child. 𝓞𝓗, he says, 𝓘 𝓪𝓶 𝓫𝓮𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓡𝓤𝓓𝓔, 𝓘'𝓶 𝓼𝓸𝓻𝓻𝔂. He sticks his hand out from the too-long sleeves of his robe, and you shake it with one of yours.

After what feels like exactly 24 hours of deliberation, you decide to make your way into the sunlight. After all your time in the dark, it does look incredibly inviting... and as you step into it, it starts to warm your cheeks and hands. After a moment, your eyes adjust, and you can make out the source of the - wait a minute! This isn't sunlight!

He steps forward and puts something warm into your palm - and when you look down to see what it is, the 𝕊𝕄𝔸𝕃𝕃 𝕎𝕀ℤ𝔸ℝ𝔻 has vanished. As the sunlight slowly dissipates around you, you find yourself holding a small glass bottle, shaped like a frog.
