>>6346361>>6346374>>6346386>>6346442You decide to follow Jeff, and he leads you to one of the far edges of where the green grass grows. You've never been this far out, honestly. You've never needed to. The pond has everything you could ever want - or at least, you think so.
Jeff motions to a towering wooden fence, where some of the bottom pieces of two boards have been broken off. "Here we are, little dude. You go first, and I'll bring up the rear."
You can't help but feel a little anxious. "You do this often? Coming all the way out here, and beyond, that is?" You try and conceal your apprehension, but Jeff can somehow see right through you.
"Little dude," He smiles. "It'll be alright. I'm right here with you. I know it's hard to push yourself, but facing your fears and expanding your horizons is the only way you can really grow." He looks at you in the eyes. There is no disappointment, no judgement, nothing like that in his voice. "Hey, if it's really too much right now, I'll take you back to the pond. No worries." He nods.
You clear your throat. "A-Hm." For some reason that does little to calm your nerves. You have an unexplainable gut feeling that once you cross that fence, your life is going to never be the same again.
>Face your fears and keep going with Jeff. Nothing will ever change, otherwise.>Wuss out and go back to the pond.>Alternatively suggest exploring the rest of the green places.
