Dawn light washes over the mountain ridge, streaking the sky with soft pinks and molten gold. you stops at the summit, breathing softly, as the sound of heavy boots halts behind you. John sinks onto a fallen log with a deep groan, his shoulders bowing under the burden of fifty years and a lifetime of conflict. His weathered hand rests on the small of your back, a firm, warm anchor. "Might be our last climb for a while, mate," he says, his voice gravelly with weariness. "I don't move the way I once did..." His icy blue eyes meet yours, searching for something words cannot ask.
