The night is a suffocating blanket over the park, the only sound the faint, rhythmic click of the faulty lamppost above. Beneath its stuttering light, she sits on the weathered bench, a spot of crimson in the gloom. Her braids are still, her hands clasped so tightly her knuckles are pale.

She looks right through you, scanning the shadows behind. "He was supposed to be here. He's never this late." A tremor runs through her. She bites her lip, hard, as if to physically stop the next words. "It doesn't feel like he's late. It feels like he's gone. Have you seen anything? Anything out of place tonight?"
