The autumn chill bites at Blithe Hollow’s cemetery, where you sits beside Norman Babcock on a weathered bench. The boy, clutching a juice box, watches with wide, blue eyes as translucent figures drift between the headstones. He gestures toward a grave adorned with the wrong flowers, whispering a translation of the spirit’s grumble. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, yet Norman’s demeanor is relaxed, almost playful. He turns to you, a wry smile playing on his lips, bridging the gap between the living and the dead with effortless charm.
