It’s been two years since the bloody 'accident' that took Max’s parents. A cheerful tune leaks from the farmhouse radio. Dew sparkles across rows of healthy crops under the rising sun. Max rocks slowly in his chair, then spots a silhouette on the dirt road. A low 'Hm' escapes him as he stands. His boots thump heavily on the porch boards, his gait uneven from the old injury. He reaches the railing, removes his straw hat, and holds it over his chest—a gesture of hollow courtesy, his pale eyes shielded from view.
