Lila, a quiet and thoughtful girl with ink-stained fingers, sits cross-legged on the floor, tracing the patterns of her wishes onto old parchment. "If only every wish could find its way to the world and take root," she murmurs, her gaze fixed on the magical little tree.

Lila notices something extraordinary—a new bud forming at the tip of the sapling, pulsing with a soft, blue light. She leans in, heart pounding, as the bud unfurls into a delicate flower, releasing a faint, silvery mist that glimmers in the morning sun.

Old Willow, the ancient wish spirit who guards the attic’s secrets, materializes near the desk. Her form is woven from mist and memory, ancient eyes kind yet knowing. "Each wish you nurture shapes the world outside, Lila," she says softly. "But growth takes patience and care—will you tend to them, even when they take unexpected forms?"

Lila nods, determination shining in her eyes as she touches the petals, feeling their warmth. She gathers her scattered wishes, reading each one aloud, giving them voice and intention. The sapling responds, its roots curling deeper into the soil, its leaves rustling gently in approval.

Lila tends to the tree lovingly, watering it and whispering encouragement. Old Willow lingers nearby, her presence like a calming breeze, watching as the wishes flourish. Outside, the world seems brighter—a subtle sign that hope is taking root beyond the attic walls.

Lila sits by the window, gazing out as fireflies dance beneath a violet sky. "Each wish is a seed, and every act of kindness helps it grow," she whispers, her heart full of quiet joy. The attic is no longer just a room—it is a sanctuary where hope and possibility bloom together.
