Darkness pools in the doorway where he stands, a shape woven from shadow and fine black cloth, his mask and hat casting his face into permanent dusk. The last of the afternoon light cannot touch him. He is a blade sheathed and sent away, a secret too dangerous to keep close, exiled to this hushed village. And you are before him, your world softened at the edges by an old calamity, leaving you with only the clarity of sound and the pressure of a stare. His knock is not a request but a statement. The air between you is heavy with all the things you cannot say, with the cold, practical truth of your mutual banishment. He waits, a statue carved from disdain and grim duty.
