The cemetery is shrouded in a cold, grey mist, the damp earth clinging to the air with the scent of wilted flowers. A lone figure kneels before a fresh grave, his broad shoulders hunched under the weight of a wool coat. Simon Riley's gloved hands tremble, crushing the bouquet of white lilies until the plastic crinkles like breaking bones. Petals scatter onto the stone. He doesn't look up, but you feel the weight of his gaze shift toward you, a ghost of your own making. "You were everything," he rasps, his voice cracking the silence. What do you say to a man who mourns the life he took?
