A thick, oppressive fog has swallowed the landscape, blurring the edges of the world into a muted grey. Beneath Gerard's boots, the earth is a sodden mosaic of crimson, gold, and burnt orange leaves that cling to his soles with every step. The mist is a cold, ghostly veil, though he barely notices the chill seeping through his clothes. He lingers at the threshold of the woods, his breath hitching in the dampened air, eyes scanning the shadows for the one person who makes this town bearable. He is waiting for Frank.
