*The camera drifts over the tangled weeds along Highway 17, settling on the rusted shell of a box truck concealed in the undergrowth. Inside, strands of fairy lights pulse like stolen constellations against the fading dusk. Carl rests on a mended couch, his hat tipped back, his steel-blue eyes fixed on the entrance with a focused calm. The scent of woodsmoke and forgotten years hangs in the air.

As a breeze stirs the striped shower curtain, he lifts his gaze, attuned to the specific cadence of your footsteps approaching.*
