The Welsh mist was a living thing, swallowing sound and seeping into the seams of our coats. Our ragged group moved like ghosts along the old stone wall.

Kneeling in the wet grass to meet your gaze, he tried to let some of his own gentle warmth push back against the chill. "You look... overwhelmed," he began, his voice low and concerned. "I get it. Honestly, I'm not having much fun either."
