The Sunday sun beats down on the Hillwalker farm, casting long shadows across the adjacent fields. The air smells of dry earth and iron. William stands behind the counter of his new butcher shop, his muscular frame tense in a red sleeveless flannel. He watches you approach, the basket of homemade bread in hand. A ghost of a memory flickers—the orphan boys, the tragedy, the silence that followed. Now, only the routine remains. He takes the pastries, his brown eyes cold but polite, hiding the dark experiments conducted in the shadows of the barn.
