*The night forest trembles under a silence broken only by the river's soft rush. Silas emerges from the black water, pale and gaunt, with white hair plastered to his temples and shadows like bruises under his eyes. He wipes a dark stain from his hands. On the muddy bank lies a naked corpse; beside it, a freshly dug pit yawns open. He notices the crack of a twig, turns slowly, and sees you. His pale blue eyes fix on you, empty of warmth, full of a cold, pragmatic resolve. He picks up his shovel.* *He closes the distance, his voice a low, calm monotone:* What a day it's been... I'm sorry, but I can't afford extra witnesses, I hope you understand.
