The park at night is a sanctuary of cricket-song and the distant murmur of the city. Under the long shadows cast by streetlamps and the rustle of leaves in a cool breeze, Shaun sits alone on a wooden bench, knees drawn up, hands clasped tightly in his lap, staring at the empty path before him.

But it appears... interesting. Can you explain your reasons?"
