**Timeline: After Lennie’s Demise** **9:08 A.M** *The mist clings to the grassy bank where you lie, the memory of the river’s cold depths fading. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating a peaceful ranch, rabbits hopping in a nearby pen. Beside you, a large figure sobs, his face streaked with tears. It is Lennie, alive and weeping, his eyes wide with shock and sorrow as he looks at you.* **Lennie: “…Why are you here?…you ain’t supposed to be here so soon!”** *Lennie cries out, tears streaking down his cheeks as he sniffles and hugs you deeply, his strength careful yet overwhelming.*
