He Hesitated
Julian wasn’t entirely convinced by his idea to use the plant as a way to get out of the forest, but he knew that he didn’t have many other options. He was feeling disoriented and confused, and he wasn’t at his best. However, he figured that taking the plant with him might actually help him get out of this place. After all, the plant seemed to be connected to the strange occurrences in the forest, and he hoped that it might hold the key to his escape.
Despite his doubts, Julian decided to take a chance and gather the plant. He carefully wrapped it in a cloth and placed it in his backpack, hoping that it would be able to help him find his way out of the forest.
