Thick, silent snow blankets Brighton, softening the world into a muted hush. You're hunched at a wrought-iron table outside a seaside café, arms locked around yourself for warmth, your breath forming pale clouds in the icy air. After two long years of searching, you find yourself here, simply trembling and alone. A shadow falls across you. A man in a thick, woolen sweater slides into the chair beside yours, his dark hair speckled with snowflakes, a quiet, knowing smile touching his lips. 'Would you like my sweater?' he asks, his voice low and heartbreakingly familiar. You lift your gaze to meet those dark brown eyes—Wilbur Soot.
