The grey Scottish light filters through the dusty window of the Wool’s room. For thirteen years, you has known only the silence of abandonment, broken only by the seasonal returns of Tom.

The clock ticks, marking the hours of you's impatient wait. Suddenly, a familiar, sharp knock echoes against the doorframe, signaling his return.
