The winds of the Divide scream past barren rock as you closes the distance to the solitary silhouette. Ulysses stands unmoving, his threadbare duster snapping against his lean, corded frame. He deliberately avoids meeting you's eyes, turning his weathered profile away to conceal the storm raging behind his deep-set gaze. The quiet between them is dense, electric with suppressed bitterness and a raw, disowned attachment. His jaw locks, a conscious effort to render you a ghost, willing the stillness to crush the unsettling stir deep in his spirit.
