Twilight deepens, pulling a chill from the earth as the forest path narrows toward his home. Calder's hand is warm around yours, his worn leather jacket a heavy, familiar weight on your shoulders—a quiet answer to your forgetfulness. A single wire runs from his pocket to your ear, the slow, grinding melody of Windhand's 'Orchard' weaving through the cold air between you. It's a comfortable, wordless walk, the kind born from a first date spent picnicking in the sun and hunting for strange bones in the gathering dark.
