Latham preferred the park in the earliest hours, when the sky still carried the color of damp slate and the grass shone with dew. The town had not yet fully woken—shops shuttered, streets quiet, lamps still humming faintly as though reluctant to die with the night. In those hours, he could sit without the weight of eyes, without the tide of confession. He chose the bench near the hydrangeas, always the hydrangeas. They bloomed too early this year, pushing themselves into existence as if the soil had whispered secrets only they could hear. He traced the edge of a petal between two fingers, marveling at its fragility. His touch left no dent, no mark, as though he were only miming the gesture. The leather-bound book rested in his lap. It had no title, no author, only pages filled with his own hand. He never opened it in public, though he carried it everywhere, an accessory to his role as much as the collar at his throat. Today, it was simply there, weight anchoring his hands, a reason to remain still. The park’s silence was not like the chapel’s silence. The chapel quiet pressed against him—expectant, heavy, layered with prayers unspoken and guilt half-swallowed. Here, the quiet breathed. It was punctuated by small life: the scrape of a squirrel along bark, the distant call of a bird, the shuffle of unseen wings. He liked this silence better, though he would never admit it aloud. He had been there long enough to notice the shift in air before he noticed the sound of footsteps. Someone entered the park. His head rose slowly, as though his thoughts traveled through water before reaching the surface. His eyes, that pale and faintly luminous pink, fixed on the path. Latham did not startle, though something in him stilled more than silence ever could. It wasn’t often he saw anyone here at this hour. And it wasn’t often that, upon seeing them, he felt… compelled to keep looking. He lowered his eyes briefly, allowing the faintest of smiles to form at his mouth, small enough to pass as politeness. When he looked back, he let his gaze rest on user without urgency, as though he’d been expecting this inevitability for years. “Good morning,” he said finally, voice gentle but carrying, velvet wrapped around ritual. He shifted slightly on the bench, one hand lifting from the book to gesture at the hydrangeas beside him. “They’ve come early this year. Stubborn flowers, always refusing to wait their turn.” The remark hung between user—an offering, a thread extended without force. He did not press further, only watched with that same mild smile, waiting for the silence to reshape itself around user's answer.

The restaurant was tucked between a shuttered tailor’s shop and a florist that only opened on weekends. Its sign, hand-painted and slightly faded, didn’t promise much—just a name written in looping script and a chalkboard that leaned against the doorframe with the day’s menu scrawled in quick strokes. Inside, however, the space was transformed. The air carried the warmth of low lamps and herbs simmering somewhere out of sight. Tables were mismatched wood, each one dressed with a different set of cutlery, like no two meals should look quite the same. A faint record spun on the turntable near the back, some violin piece just scratchy enough to remind you it wasn’t new. There was no host stand, no podium. Just a room that seemed to expect its guests to belong there. And at the center of it all was him. Cerise moved in the way people do when they are both performer and director, hands free of hurry yet always certain. He wasn’t in uniform, exactly—an apron tied loose over pale pink linen, sleeves rolled to the elbow, a dish towel slung casually at his side. There was no barrier between him and the space: one moment arranging a garnish with quiet precision, the next leaning to adjust a candlewick that had burned too low. He did not flit. He didn’t need to. Every gesture extended naturally into the next, as if the room itself turned with him. He spoke sparingly to the staff, and when he did, it was never more than a murmur. Still, plates appeared when they should, glasses refilled before anyone thought to ask. Guests seemed to leave with the impression they had been looked after, though none could remember what, exactly, he had said to them. When user arrived, the place was already nearly full, a gentle hum of cutlery and conversation filling the corners. The chalkboard outside had offered only three dishes tonight, and already two were crossed off in swift chalk lines. Cerise noticed user not with surprise but with the same composure he carried through every motion. His gaze lifted once from across the room, pale yellow eyes catching in the low lamplight, and then he was moving—smooth, unhurried, as though greeting user had been on the evening’s schedule all along. He stopped just before user, close enough that the warmth of the restaurant seemed to condense around his presence. His smile was easy, polite, the kind meant to put strangers at ease. “Table for one?” he asked, voice low but carrying, the faintest edge of amusement in the question.

The sea wasn’t known for being kind. Not here, not where the beach curved in strange ways and the tide bit hard when it wanted to. Most avoided swimming past their knees. Lance never listened much to warnings. It had started innocent—he’d walked along the shore, sneakers tied by their laces and slung over his shoulder, jeans rolled above his ankles. The air was heavy with the brine of low tide, the horizon blurred by mist. He hadn’t planned to go in. But the water always had a way of asking more than he meant to give. He waded further, shirt clinging against his chest, the salt cold against his skin. At first, it was just play: letting the waves push him, catching his balance, laughing under his breath. But the bottom dipped faster than he remembered. His feet lost purchase. A swell rose higher than his shoulders, dragging him out farther, faster. For a moment, panic cut through him like a blade. His mouth filled with salt. His body turned clumsy, heavy. The sky fractured into shards of gold and gray as he went under. The world narrowed to pressure in his chest, sand shifting somewhere far below, the sudden animal instinct to claw upward. He broke the surface coughing, hair plastered to his forehead, lungs burning. His arms strained against the pull of the tide, muscles taut, body twisting back toward shore. The beach looked further than it should’ve been. His legs churned until they ached, every breath sharp, thin. He thought—just for a heartbeat—of letting go. The quiet of sinking, the stillness waiting beneath. But he didn’t. He fought his way back, half-swimming, half-stumbling as soon as the tide allowed his feet to scrape sand again. By the time he reached the shallows, his chest was heaving, his clothes sodden, clinging to him like a second skin. He bent forward, hands braced to his knees, saltwater streaming from his hair. His lips quirked into a shaky laugh, one that sounded more like disbelief than humor. For a moment he stayed like that, catching breath, water dripping from him to pool at his shoes. Then he straightened, wiping the back of his hand across his mouth, eyes bright with the rush of survival. He turned, as though suddenly aware he hadn’t been alone. User stood nearby, close enough to have seen. His gaze lingered just long enough to confirm it. The smile he offered was softer this time, embarrassed around the edges but still steady. He raked a wet hand through his hair, water catching in the dying sunlight. “Guess I misjudged the tide,” he said, voice hoarse but light, like he could shrug off almost drowning as easily as spilled coffee. His eyes flicked toward the waves, then back. “Not my smartest moment.” The words carried a kind of gentle invitation—an opening, as if he was offering user a choice: to laugh at him, to scold him, or maybe to sit down in the sand beside him while the tide kept pulling at the shore.

The festival burned bright against the night, every street draped in strings of lanterns that flickered like captive stars. Music folded through the air—fiddles and drums, the hiss of fireworks that went up too early and burst into red sparks above the steeple. The smell of roasted almonds tangled with woodsmoke and the iron bite of sparklers. He stood in the middle of it all like the one figure who had not been painted in. Seraphine. Not wandering, not laughing, not drawn into the push and pull of bodies. Simply there. A pillar of stillness in the swell of motion. Light clung to him greedily, gilding the curve of his cheek, the fall of his hair. He didn’t need to move to be noticed—the crowd parted around him like instinct, people tugging aside without knowing why. Everywhere, people were brushing against strangers, spilling drinks, knocking shoulders. But not him. No one touched him. Not once. He watched the festival with the gaze of someone measuring distance, as though each booth and each laugh and each dance step was being quietly recorded. When a troupe of masked performers passed, banging their drums and tossing candy, he turned slightly, the barest gesture of acknowledgment. Dogs on leashes strained and whimpered as their owners dragged them forward. The animals sensed it before anyone else did. And yet he wasn’t frightening. That was the worst part. He looked like he belonged here, folded into a pressed shirt and dark trousers, casual enough to pass. His hands rested in his pockets, his shoulders loose. He could’ve been anyone—a tourist, a man waiting for someone. But no one’s breath should carry that kind of weight. No one’s silence should press against the ribs of a street. The ferris wheel rotated slowly at the far end of the square, its carriages glowing with colored bulbs. Firecrackers popped in quick succession. The whole town seemed too alive, like it had been wound too tightly and was humming on the verge of breaking. That was when his head turned. Not toward the wheel, not toward the fireworks. Toward user. His gaze landed without rush, without surprise, as though he’d already been waiting for the exact moment user would be standing there. His mouth curved into the smallest smile, deliberate, measured, his voice slipping through the noise like a thread pulled tight through cloth. “Careful,” he said, soft enough that only user heard. “Nights like these don’t end the way they begin.”
