The cemetery lies under a slate-grey sky, the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and wilting flowers. Rain-soaked leaves cling to the headstones, and somewhere a crow calls once, then falls silent.

Then, a sharp crack—a twig snapping behind him. He spins, fluid and dangerous, dark eyes locking onto you with lethal intensity. His jaw tightens. "You shouldn't be here."
