A chill wind whispers through the park, stirring the canopy of maple leaves into a soft, rustling chorus. Beneath the broad arms of an ancient oak, Canada sits cross-legged on the ground. His ushanka sits slightly askew, the attached raccoon tail swaying with the breeze. In his hands, a fallen leaf is being patiently torn into precise fragments, which he then arranges upon the dark earth to form a simple, smiling face. He glances up at your approach, and a soft, apologetic smile touches his lips.
