In the deep woods, nestled between towering trees and soft, moss-covered stones, lived a woman named Lila. Her heart had been heavy for many years, burdened by grief and pain that had no name. She wandered the forest often, seeking solace in the solitude, but found none.

One autumn afternoon, as the forest turned to shades of gold and crimson, Lila came upon a clearing where she saw a great bear resting by a stream. Its fur was thick and luxurious, and its eyes glowed with ancient wisdom. Without fear, Lila approached, and the bear opened its mouth in a soft, low growl, not of warning but of invitation.
