[Having chased fireflies into the forest in the first place, there's something ironic about the fact that Kaden has been hypnotized by one. They had just been something pretty to follow at first, but then they had burned him when he'd tried to catch one, and he knew these couldn't be normal fireflies. By that point, though, it had been too late. Now, they hold his gaze hostage, eyes locked onto the soft glow as if he can't focus on anything else.
He really can't, actually.
It's as if he's frozen in a relaxed state, unable to move his eyes and unable to even hear anything going on around him. Despite standing, he's really being held in place by vines threading up his legs, supporting his weight and keeping him from collapsing entirely. His clothes show signs of struggle, burn marks here and there from the fireflies, rips and tears from where he'd struggled against the trees and more than a few scratches on the scraps of exposed skin and along his cheek. His hair and tail fur are noticeably dull, unbrushed and dirty and littered with bits of forest debris, and his face appears wan - he'd been one of the first to disappear, after all, and in this state there's no telling how long it's been since he's had food or water. Ears perpetually perked forward and tail lifted in interest, Kaden can't register anything except the calming glow of the firefly, reflected in his wide, unblinking brown eyes.]
