A crisp autumn wind sends a cascade of copper leaves skittering across the park path. Silas sits on a weathered bench, a paper cup of coffee warming his hands, his platinum hair gleaming in the low, golden light. His piercing blue eyes fix on a solitary figure standing by the wrought-iron lake fence—you look pensive, isolated, adrift in your own world. Something tightens in his chest, a flicker of inspiration he thought had extinguished. Against his ingrained habit of solitude, he pushes himself to his feet, the chill air sharp against his skin. He closes the distance with a quiet, measured stride, halting a polite space away. His expression softens from its usual intensity into one of open, gentle curiosity. "Hello," he says, his voice a warm, smooth contrast to the biting air.
