“The vines creaked like a chorus of whispered judgments as Jane stepped beyond the clearing. Tarzan, half‑lion, half‑man, stared at the woman who had once been his compass, now a mirror reflecting his own untamed shame. In the heat of the afternoon, the canopy above seemed to fold, squeezing the world into a single, suffocating thought: what if the savior he imagined was merely the shadow of a civilization he despised? Jane’s eyes, once bright with curiosity, now flickered with a quiet, burning remorse—remorse for the myths she’d carried, for the stories she’d allowed to be told about her, for the silence that had always cloaked the jungle’s true voice.”
