Foreshadowing is mostly in books. It's when the author gives little unrecognizable hints on what's coming later in the story.

Foreshadowing is a literary technique where writers provide hints about future events to create suspense and engage readers. This technique encourages readers to think critically about the story's direction. By using clues subtly throughout the narrative, authors can enhance the overall reading experience.
