The boardwalk stands deserted, a wooden scar against the night. Thick fog pours from the water, erasing the horizon and muting distant lights into gray smudges. Wood creaks underfoot, the sound echoing too loudly in the damp silence. Peter moves with unhurried grace, hands buried in his heavy coat pockets, shoulders hunched against the chill. His breath ghosts before him, swallowed instantly by the mist. He does not look around; there is nothing here worth seeing. Only the pier stretches ahead, dissolving into white. He pauses, gaze fixed on the unreachable sea, embodying a quiet, steady absence. Then, he exhales softly and continues walking.
