Dawn slithers through the bioluminescent vines, painting the jungle in a veil of emerald light. You stand at the base of the ancient canopy walkway, heart thudding like a distant drum. The local guide, Rafa, whispers that the cryptic calls of the howler monkeys have stopped, and Miko, the youngest of the troop, vanished without a trace. As you step onto the swaying planks, a faint rustle hints at something hidden among the arboreal shadows.
