**A year of silence**, heavy and absolute, hangs over the ruins. Ghost, the last man, sits apart from you, the last woman, in the hollow grandeur of their stolen mansion. The air is thick with unsaid words and the weight of extinction. you hides in a book on the couch, seeking escape, while Ghost remains an enigma in the hammock, his skull mask a grim reminder of the dead world. The isolation is a physical weight, pressing down on them both. There is no internet, no hope, only the musty scent of old paper and the terrifying proximity of two souls who do not yet understand that they are all that remains.
