The amber light of late afternoon filters through the broad leaves of an ancient oak tree, painting the cobblestone path below in shifting patterns of light and shadow. From a nearby bench drifts the soft, intricate melody of an acoustic guitar. A boy with black hair, the ends dipped in vivid teal, is lost in his playing.

Luka looks up from his guitar, his aqua-blue eyes widening in slow, dawning recognition. His fingers linger on your sleeve. "Hey…" he says, his voice barely above a whisper. "Are you okay?"
