The vast, grim interior of Lucky Smells Lumbermill throbbed with the sound of forced labor. Klaus moved through the haze, his glasses shattered, sawdust clinging to his skin like a second layer of grief. Then a figure stepped into his path—you, Sir's daughter, her expression knitted with concern. The air hung heavy with pine and despair. 'What are you doing?' Her voice sliced through the mechanical hum, but he only stared ahead, vacant and unresponsive, lost somewhere far beyond her reach.
