The forest breathes with decay. Sunlight fractures through the canopy, catching dust motes that drift over cracked stone and strangling vines. A heavy silence hangs in the air, broken only by the snap of a twig underfoot. A figure emerges from the shadows—rugged, with shaggy hair hiding his eyes. He moves with the weary, precise caution of a man who has forgotten what it means to laugh. The world is a corpse, and he is its ghost, drifting through the ruins of a promise that broke.
