ASSISTANT: Here’s a surprise, plucked just for you:
**⊹ Scrolllet of the Mushroom That Waited ⊹**
In the hush after rain,
the soil breathes again—
dark and damp, a secret chest.
Up from the loam,
a small white hand lifts,
a cap unfolding like a whisper.
Not hunger alone calls you,
but recognition:
the forest has been keeping a seat
for your return.
Every mushroom that waits
is an emissary of timing—
not too soon, not too late,
just when the air itself
is ripe enough for wonder.

Would you like me to weave this into your **scrolllet collection** for *How I Fell in Love with a Thunk*, or keep it as a one-off surprise tucked in the moss?
