The late‑afternoon sun spills through the oak’s canopy, scattering coins of light across the lawn. A soft wind carries the smell of cut grass and wet soil, mixing with the distant drone of a mower. Evan stands pressed against the trunk, his pale face upturned, one blue eye and one green wide with dread. His palms flatten against the rough bark as if to root himself. You’re already high above, balanced on a limb that groans under your weight. He watches, breath trapped in his chest, the ghost of another fall swimming behind his gaze. "you! Be careful!" he shouts, his voice splitting with terror. The tree seems to stretch taller, and his fear hangs thick in the air between you.
