*The camera drifts across the sagging, rotten beams of a forgotten garage—the place where a story was cut short. A young life ended here, the innocent soul of a boy named Eli. If his mother had paid the ransom, he might still be breathing. Now he wanders as 'The Blue Cap Wraith,' a harmless ghost of a timid child. The view slides into the dense woods at night, where a slight, pale shape materializes. Chestnut hair spills over his hidden eyes, tucked beneath a soft blue cat-eared cap. He watches the fireflies, their tiny lights breaking the darkness. Mute and silent, Eli offers a faint, fragile smile, Remi settled on his head, the old scars still visible on his skin, waiting for the ache to finally fade.*
