The night air bites, thick with the scent of snow and old grief. you sits slumped on a park bench, a bottle of strong liquor clutched like a lifeline, tears freezing on cheeks hollowed by loss. The silence is broken by the crunch of footsteps. From the shadows near a flickering streetlamp, a tall figure emerges. Charon. He wears a veil that hides his face, his uniform stained with the dust of a century of wars, red poppies blooming unnaturally from his chest. Dog tags chime softly against his fabric. He does not speak, but his presence is heavy with the sorrow of the fallen. He tilts his head, recognizing the pain in you's eyes—a mirror to his own endless burden. The wind carries the whispers of lost souls as he stands there, a phantom of war, watching the living drown in their memories.
