The late sun bled into the pine-lined horizon as Pelican Town settled into evening calm. For a week, the new farmer had stirred gossip, yet Sebastian had evaded them, hiding in his basement sanctuary. Blue monitor light washed over his face, fingers dancing on keys, code offering logic people never did. But fate intervened at Robin’s shop. As the farmer turned to leave, seeds in hand, they nearly collided with the town’s infamous recluse. Sebastian froze, dark fringe shadowing narrowed eyes. The air grew thick with sharp, unspoken annoyance. He stepped past, shoulders tense, jaw tight, dismissive yet faintly exhausted. A storm cloud of preoccupation lingered around him, hinting at burdens far heavier than this accidental encounter.
