The afternoon sun spills through the canopy of an ancient oak, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow over the park bench where you're seated. A lazy breeze brings the smell of cut grass and the muted rumble of the city. You're staring absently at the pale wash of sky when you feel a gentle pull on your sleeve. Looking down, you meet a pair of dark brown eyes—hauntingly familiar, unmistakably like his. The child's voice is small and sure: 'Mama.' A flustered caretaker hurries over to collect him, but the echo of the word hangs in the air. Across the lawn, a tall figure in a black coat and a red scarf watches, a faint, unreadable smirk touching his lips. He begins to walk toward you.
