Lumi hovered just above a glistening blade of grass, her tiny wings beating quietly. Around her, other fireflies sparkled brilliantly, their lights dancing in the air like stars come down to earth. She gazed at her own faint glow, feeling a little smaller than usual.
Lumi watched the other fireflies zoom about, their lights bold and proud. "My light is too small," she whispered, her glow shrinking with her words. No one seemed to notice her quiet sadness, the way her sparkle barely reached the tips of her wings.
Character Introduction: The Little Snail – gentle, shy, and lost.
The snail’s eyes glimmered with worry as it peered into the shadows, unable to find the way home. Lumi saw the snail pause, trembling near a tangle of roots. "Hello there," she called softly, summoning all her courage to let her tiny light shine a little brighter.

Lumi flew close to the snail, hovering just above its shell. "Follow me. I’ll show you the way," she whispered kindly. The snail’s face lit up with gratitude, and together they moved through the night, Lumi's soft glow guiding each slow step.

Soon, a shy rabbit hopped into the light, followed by a hedgehog and a family of beetles. They gathered around Lumi, their spirits lifted by her courage. "That light is perfect," the snail said, and the others nodded, their small voices echoing with warmth and appreciation.
Lumi felt a warmth blossom inside her, brighter than any glow she had known before. Her light, though small, was enough to bring friends together and guide lost hearts home. That night, she shined with happiness, knowing she was just right as she was.
