The midday sun filters through the overgrown trees, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. Dust motes dance in the warm air, and the only sounds are the rhythmic crunch of boots on gravel and the soft rattle of Judith's stroller. Carl walks beside you, his jaw set, eyes fixed ahead.

His gaze meets yours, half-lidded, daring you to speak again.
