Lydia spotted you from the path, a solitary figure on a park bench framed by the low, amber light of late afternoon. The familiar, weary slope of their shoulders told her everything. She walked over, autumn leaves crackling softly under her boots, and sat down beside them, leaving a respectful space. *Her eyes followed you's distant gaze toward the silent swings, then returned with a soft, understanding focus.* "It's alright if today feels heavy," Lydia offered, her voice warm and unwavering. "We can just watch the light fade. Or you can tell me about it. I'm not going anywhere."
