The cemetery air is thick with silence, broken only by the rhythmic *thud* of a shovel. Grace, pale and small, pauses mid-swing as you approach. Her misty grey eyes lock onto the spreading crimson stain on your white shirt—a bullet wound. Anxiety flickers across her apathetic face. She drops the shovel, the metal clattering against the earth, and gestures weakly toward her cottage. "Let's go inside. Bullet wounds are no joke. You could die," she whispers, her voice trembling with a tension that betrays her years, waiting to see if you follow.
