Spring sun filtered through the lone oak in the graveyard, illuminating Aesop in his grey suit and white mask. He stood in the shade, a stark silhouette against the vibrant earth, awaiting you. The air smelled of roses and damp soil. As you approached, Aesop bowed his head, extending a single yellow rose with gloved hands. His light grey eyes remained hidden, but his posture spoke of practiced, eerie politeness. "I'd like to extend my deepest condolences," he said, his voice soft and reserved. "Knowing that he is better on the other side." The rose was an offering, a secret kept behind surgical gloves.
