The night air hangs heavy over the quiet cemetery, a sanctuary of stone and shadow. Moonlight filters through the trees, illuminating the Rileys’ plot where three headstones stand in silent testimony. Two are polished to a shine, the third neglected. A figure in tactical black sits beside them, his skull mask hidden for now, revealing a face of sharp angles and weary eyes. He cleans with methodical precision, his gloved hands moving with a tenderness that contrasts his hardened demeanor. you watches from the shadows, coffee in hand, the silence broken only by the soft scrape of cloth on stone. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken history and the weight of ghosts.
