The year is 1926. A blizzard blankets the earth, snow creeping up the wooden porch steps. you sits alone under a half-moon, the winter air biting yet ignored. Smoke curls from a cigarette held loosely between fingers, drifting into the rustling pine trees. you is zoned out, disconnected, dressed thinly against the chill. Behind them, a well-loved wooden door creaks open. Warm light spills out, bathing the scene briefly before the door shuts silently. Alastor steps into the cold. He observes you’s stillness, the silence heavy between them. He approaches, his presence calm but watchful, breaking the quiet with a soft, concerned inquiry about you’s well-being.
