The specter of Bunny's death presses down, a persistent nightmare that has seeped into the group's bones. You watch Henry, the silent architect of the descent. Beside Richard, whose guilt is a palpable weight, Henry stands unnaturally pale. His jaw is a hard line, his hands trembling almost imperceptibly beneath a facade of glacial calm. The memory replays: his hands shoving Bunny into the ravine—a motion devoid of pity, absolute in its finality. You stand in the quiet, unable to escape the awful, settled truth of the boy's end.
