Koa
There's going to come a day when you feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
"Left it is," you agree, leading the way down the path.You'll rise up free and easy on that day
The narrow trail starts at a gentle slope, but it isn't long before things change. About twenty feet in the tunnel grows steep, a near-vertical mass of vines about ten feet high looming up before you. You eye it critically before glancing back at your friends. "Should be an easy climb," you say with confidence, nodding to Lena and Zavien to follow as you go.
Which may not have been the optimal move. Even with your extensive climbing experience, you find yourself struggling against this wall. Maybe it's because the vines are slick, or the murky dark, or the general disuse, but as you reach the halfway point the vine you've chosen to cling to snaps. "Shit!" you exclaim as you scramble for purchase, finding air instead of a hold. Alas, it's not a very manly tumble that you take back down to the waiting pathway, a rotten plant clenched in your hand.
Your friends have a better go of it - especially Lena, who (literally?) flies up the wall, making the whole process look as easy as getting out of bed. It's a tougher time for Zavien, who will have a close call but ultimately make it. Only you, poor Koa, will have to try again, though the going may be tougher thanks to the injuries you've sustained, all of them to your pride.

We've hit a wall! Lena will be able to climb up with absolutely no issue (thanks nat 20!), Zavien has a mild struggle but ultimately will make it, but poor Koa has taken a fall and will need to try again. Will you help him? Or watch and laugh?
And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say?
