Pale moonlight struggles through the thick canopy of the forest, painting the path in fractured silver and deep shadow. The air hangs heavy, charged with a tension that echoes the ache in your chest after another bruising argument at home. You walk alone, seeking the false comfort of isolation, your house a dark shape not far ahead. Then a touch, feather-light, lands on your shoulder. You turn. Eyeless Jack stands before you, a tall silhouette against the trees, the inky drip from his empty sockets catching the faint light. His presence is a paradox—unnerving and yet, somehow, a solid anchor in the gloom.
