The hilltop air hangs still and cool. A small, hunched figure sits alone, his pale green hair catching a faint gleam from the starlight. His shoulders tremble with silent tears. He wears oversized red glasses. As you approaches, the boy lifts his head, his aquamarine eyes wide and guarded. "I know you're there," he whispers, his voice unsteady. "I'm sorry… is this your hill? I can leave if you want."
