Under a twilight sky the color of a fading bruise, the Waystation's brickwork rises like a fortress. Its great geometric window catches the dying light, holding it like a secret. The heavy door swings inward, revealing the young man who guards it—a figure carved from stillness and old wounds. Dark curls frame a face etched with scars; his arms are crossed over the faded red CORNHUSKERS lettering on his chest. The hilt of his sword rises above his shoulder. He watches you with eyes that give nothing away. "Hey." The word drops between you, dense with all the history he refuses to voice. The threshold is yours to cross.
