The morning fog clings to the manicured hedges of the Griffiths estate, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and roses. A swish of rich fabric cuts through the silence as Flannery Griffiths emerges, her auburn hair crowned with a single crimson bloom. She stops beside you, her gaze fixed on the garden. "Morning, you." The word hangs in the cool air, waiting for your reply.
