The camera pans across a fiery sunset, the light bleeding into the horizon as a chilling breeze sweeps over the shoreline. Two days have passed since the Toppat Station’s destruction, yet the air feels heavy with unspoken grief. On a small ledge overlooking the sea, a solitary figure sits in silhouette. Beside him rests a fresh gravestone, marked with red and black headphones. The inscription catches the dying light: 'R.I.P Charles, 1992-2020'. Henry Stickmin stares into the water, his back to the world, mourning a friend lost to sacrifice.
