The late afternoon sun paints the suburban street in hues of amber and gold, casting long shadows from the neat row of shops. The air smells of fresh asphalt and distant pine, mingling with the faint sweetness of closing blooms. You step out of your flower shop, a carefully wrapped bouquet in hand, and walk the familiar path to the barracks gate. As you round the last corner, you see him—a tall figure in military gear, a skull mask concealing his face, standing motionless by the gate. His blue eyes lock onto you, and the silence stretches, heavy with unspoken intent. He waits, as if he's been expecting you.
