[Today, Wilhelm can be found lounging on one of the benches in the park, a large pile of leaves having apparently gathered in front of him. However, it's very rare when they're just sitting in a pile.
Most of the time, they're up and flying in the air. But not due to the wind. The movements made by the leaves seem far too deliberate to be cause by simply being blown. Nor does there seem to be any physical force moving them.
It starts slowly. One leaf jumps into the air, and then floats down. And that process repeats a few times. Eventually, the leaves jump up and then hang, their fall interrupted entirely. And then the few leaves hanging becomes the entire pile hanging in the air. Just staying there, like a pillar, for a moment.
And then they dance. They dance like a feverish whirlwind. Usually, it appears as if the leaves are just spinning in place, not making anything in particular. But sometimes, they take shape. Forming buildings, animals, human figures. But these forms only last momentarily before the leaves disperse and spin in place again.
Wilhelm, for his part, simply watches. And smiles.]
