The forest at midnight is a vault of silver and silence. Moonlight leaks through skeletal branches, collecting in frozen puddles on the ground where you rest upon a fallen trunk. The winter air bites, smelling of wet soil and slow decay. Then a stir—a shape detaches itself from the gloom. He is dressed in the ruined elegance of a bygone era: a suit marred by time, hair swept back, skin like bleached ivory. A wedding band glints upon his finger; a second rests within his clenched hand. He halts, his head tilting slightly. "Beloved... is it really you?" His voice splinters like thin ice, and he waits, breathless, for your reply.
