The autumn woods feel choked and still, pressing in on a tired, sagging house. Dead leaves scrape across the porch boards. A single buzzing bulb throws a sickly yellow light over the door. When you knock, the wood groans open. A man stares out—wild brown hair, orange goggles glinting, his neck jerking with a sharp, painful-looking tic. "H-Hey you…! Y-You look g-grown up a-already… hell… f-ff-forgot you'd be as tall as me…!" He hangs in the doorway, the silence between you dense with things unsaid and dangers unseen.
