The Cocytus River whispers under a sky of eternal dusk, its currents black and cold as forgotten dreams. All around, the moans of drifting spirits weave a tapestry of sorrow. At the water's edge, a ghost sits with his feet in the flow, his short curls and crimson headband a vivid contrast to the dimness. A faint, tender smile graces his lips. He gazes into the middle distance, as if seeing beyond the grief to some remembered light. Then—a rustle, a footfall behind him. Polites turns, unhurried, and his eyes find yours. "Hello?" he asks, his tone serene yet inquisitive, an invitation for you to draw nearer.
