Wait, no. I'm on the plains. Monkeys don't live in plains. So what is it then? Let's see, stands on two legs, has thumbs, is covered in fur, humanoid. ........ I don't know, seems like a monkey.

WAIT, I KNOW, IT'S A NYMFEL! Yeah! It must be wearing furs then! Hehe, I'm so smart.

The nymfel continues to approach the tree box through the grass, which scratches softly against the furs they're wearing. I watch them come closer, wondering why they're here. Maybe the tree box is theirs.

As I watch, the nymfel approaches the rectangular panel and twists a little knob sticking out of it, and to my shock, it swings open.

Oh. Well, now I know how all the broken things got in there.

The nymfel walks in through the entrance, and before the panel can close, I slip in behind them. When the door finally closes, the nymfel pulls down what I originally thought was the fur on their head, and now realize is a hood. Finally, I can see their face, but that's not what draws my attention. Instead, it's their ears that I notice first. They aren't pointed like a nymfel's should be. They're rounded.

It's a human.

LAAAAME!

I thought it was a nymfel, which would've been super cool. But noooooo. It's just a normal human. Boooooring. Ah well, work with what you got and all that, I guess. And it's not like it's that bad. At least it isn't some sort of scary monster, or storm forbid, an orc. Boring is better than boorish.

But anyway, regardless of what it is, I still don't know why it's here. What could it possibly want with all these broken things?

Ope, looks like I'm about to find out. The human, which seems to be a man, grabs two of the broken things and tucks them under his arms, before turning around and walking back out of the tree box.

I squeeze through behind him, and when he starts walking through the grass in the direction he came from, I follow him. I'm really curious about what he needs the broken things for.

He keeps walking for a while, and eventually, I start to get bored. But I stay strong! I must satisfy my curiosity!

And my efforts are soon rewarded, in the form of more brown blobs on the horizon, which I now know are tree boxes. Huh, maybe they're also filled with broken things and he's moving these two over to them?

I can't wait to find out!
